HOUSTON -- A Houston area priest has taken a leave of absence from his parish after being arrested at an adult video store a few miles from his church.

WATCH IT: Archdiocese Responds | Priest Arrested In Undercover Sting
The Houston Police Department Vice Squad had undercover officers inside two adult video stores along the Gulf Freeway in southeast Houston when they said they encountered Father Alberto A. Maullon, 52, of Southeast Harris County.
Vice officers involved in the sting told KPRC Local 2 Maullon was the only person in a private viewing booth area of the Big City Adult Book Store at 10105 Gulf Freeway Wednesday night.
An undercover officer approached and exchanged a nod with him, followed by the locked door being opened for the undercover officer.
One officer involved in the sting said at that point "he whipped his junk out" and started masturbating for the undercover officer.
The priest, who was named head of St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Nassau Bay in 1991, was quickly arrested.
Officers said he identified himself as a priest as they were booking him. On his booking paperwork, he listed his address on Point Lookout Drive, the same street where the church is located.


The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston issued a statement about the arrest.
"Father Maullon has expressed deep sorrow for any pain or hurt caused by this event and has requested and been granted a leave of absence from his ministerial duties," a representative said.
"I ask you to join me in praying for St. Paul Parish and for Father Maullon as he addresses these very personal challenges with his priesthood," Cardinal Daniel DiNardo said.
Maullon posted a $1,000 bond and was released from jail Thursday. He's scheduled to appear before the judge in the Harris County Court at Law No. 4 on Dec. 9.

The cop entrapped the priest with her nod.
Perhaps this should be in Alerts.

It never said if this was a Straight or Gay. Many AVS's are hangouts for Gay encounters.

[Killersalt]

Was the cop a chick?

[macksback]

ROTLMAO!!!

[oilfieldscum]

They never say it was a female officer.

[live4fun]

you are worried if it is a female officer?
what does it matter, with the amount of crime in houston, why worry about a guy in ABS? really? arresting a SW?
with murders, rapes assults, forced prositution by gangs, and the police are using their undercover agents for this?

I would think celibacy means no kind of sexual activity.

Those churches now have canned response for cases like this? requested and granted "Leave of absence"?

13 news stated it was a male cop/ fucken faggots

[Jackie S]

I wonder if the Gay community will come to his defense. Maybe Mayor Parker will speak out against the repression of what Consenting Adults choose to do.

[boardman]

I wonder if NAN got any pictures?

[notanewbie]

Nope, I was kinda tied up
