A judge in Louisiana has ordered the return of electronics belonging to an ex-Roman Catholic priest who pleaded guilty to obscenity for being caught having sex with two dominatrices atop a church altar while still belonging to the clergy in 2020.

However, the judge also told authorities to erase all data from the devices and storage media as a precaution against videos taken of the tryst from becoming public.

The ruling from state court judge Ellen Creel came in the case centering on Travis Clark as well as dominatrices whose professional names are Lady Vi (also known as Satanatrix) and Empress Ming. The videos in question have been under indefinite court seal ever since the trio’s encounter made international news headlines in 2020.

    For a moment, I wasn’t 100% sure if “dominatrices” was from an actual title in the Catholic Church, or if it was supposed to be the plural of “dominatrix”.

    Former Roman Catholic priest and two dominatrices were evidently recording sexual videos in the church in 2020

    Well, at least you know they’re adults since he’s no longer a priest.

  • Churches often rent out their buildings to secular promoters for concerts and similar events; churches often have good acoustics, and the church gets some money in the deal. Given that churches would also be desirable venues for kink orgies, it makes sense that they should consider offers from organisers of these as well.

    The Reading Smut podcast recently covered a book kinda like this, Priest by Sierra Simone.

    Why can’t that video be made public? Is there a reason? Seems like finally there’s video evidence of someone actually enjoying religion

      Sounds disgusting. I’ll make the sacrifice of watching it so the rest of you don’t have to.
