Priest Arrested At Adult Video Store

Texas: 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.

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.
