Cops: Priest “Anointed” Man’s Genitals With Holy Oil

The Telegraph reports:

Greek police have arrested an Orthodox priest on the island of Rhodes for allegedly molesting a male tourist by “anointing” his genitals with holy oil. The holidaymaker encountered the priest, 49, when he visited a monastery on the island with his girlfriend earlier this week.

The priest invited him into a small reception room in the monastery “in order to give him a special gift”. The cleric then asked the tourist to pull down his trousers and underpants so that he could “anoint” him.

He then allegedly massaged the oil onto the man’s private parts. The tourist was reportedly confused and embarrassed, not knowing if the ritual might have some legitimacy. But on reflection, after leaving the monastery, he contacted local police.
