ROCKFORD (WREX) – A 44-year-old Catholic priest assigned to a parish in Batavia turned himself in to Winnebago County authorities Friday on two misdemeanor counts of Public Indecency.
The Winnebago County Sheriff’s Department says deputies responded to the Road Ranger in the 4900 block of South Main Street on March 28 for reports of a man who had exposed himself to an employee. Deputies say they spoke to a clerk at the store who said a man had been inside the business and exposed himself while in the store and also while parked in a vehicle in the store’s lot. Other employees and customers were also inside at the time.
The man left the scene but deputies say they obtained his license plate number and additional follow-up led them to Aaron R. Brodeski. Brodeski is a Catholic priest in the Rockford Diocese who is assigned to a Batavia parish. He turned himself in to Winnebago County authorities Friday, May 23.
