CLEVELAND – A man was arrested for soliciting sex at Edgewater Park on Friday.
James McGonegal offered a Cleveland Metropark ranger $50 for sex, said park spokeswoman Sanaa Julien. The ranger was not on detail and was in plain clothes at the time.
McGonegal was charged with a third-degree felony because he also admitted he knows he has HIV, Julien said.
McGonegal is a pastor at St. Ignatius of Antioch Church in Cleveland. The Cleveland Catholic Diocese released this brief statement Friday night:
“Diocesan authorities have a policy of cooperating with civil authorities in these kinds of matters, and will do so in this matter.”
