A Polish priest living in Brazil has been arrested on charges of pedophilia and of turning his home into an "erotic dungeon" where he organised orgies with teenagers, Brazilian media reported.

The cleric, identified only by his initials MMS, is "a person compulsively attached to sex with adolescents", the judge overseeing the case, Alexandre Abrahao Teixeira, said in his decision to issue a preventive detention order on Friday.

The priest ran a church in the west of Rio de Janeiro state and used his spiritual authority over the youths to prey on them, the judge said.

The priest's house was transformed into "a sort of erotic dungeon where these youths were thrown into orgies", he said.

The investigation was opened in 2007 when one teenager told police the priest persuaded him to engage in kissing, then to be handcuffed to a bed and engage in oral sex and attempted anal sex.

If convicted, the priest could be jailed for 10 years.

Church officials in the state declined to comment on the case, which, if confirmed, would add to a growing pedophile scandal implicating Catholic priests in several countries to the increasing discomfort of the Vatican.
