Boca priest accused of soliciting sex in N.C. men's room
BOCA RATON - A new priest at St. Gregory's Episcopal Church was issued a citation for allegedly soliciting sex in a North Carolina public park's men's room recently.

Though the announcement came out this week, police issued a citation for solicitation to the Rev. Michael Penland in June during a Waynesville police sting operation dubbed Operation Summer Heat. Waynesville is located near Asheville, N.C.

Penland, who has been a youth minister at the Boca Raton church since November, allegedly followed an undercover officer and solicited sex from him, police said. Penland allegedly followed the officer as he left the park and was pulled over.

11. Think about it. Priests. Republican Senators.
They A) "can't" be themselves as gay which means - B) they favor unsavory anonymous meeting places.

3. This is what I don't understand...
...since when is asking someone to have sex with you an arrestable offense? If they weren't having sex at the park and there was no money changing hands, can't I ask anyone whatever I want to ask them?
