HOLLY HILL --
A retired Catholic priest was one of six men arrested in Holly Hill as part of a sex sting in a public bathroom.
According to our news partners at the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Paige Blakely was arrested last Thursday after an undercover officer said the 61-year-old exposed himself inside the bathroom.
Blakely is a former pastor at St. Ann's Catholic Church, in DeBary. He retired in 2007.
According to an arrest report obtained by the News-Journal, Blakely told police he was in the bathroom to "experience what it was like," and that he was trying to get a "thrill."
Blakely has been charged with misdemeanor indecent exposure.
The Diocese of Orlando told the News-Journal that following Blakely's arrest, Bishop John Noonan removed the retired priest's faculties pending the outcome of a police investigation.
