SOUTHERN PINES – The rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church and another man are accused of engaging in sex acts in Reservoir Park earlier this month, the Southern Pines Police Department said.
Father John Grey Tampa, 63, of Southern Pines, and Howard Reynolds, 79, of Whispering Pines, are each charged with indecent exposure, which is a misdemeanor.
The alleged incident was reported Oct. 2, Police Chief Robert Temme said Wednesday.
A plainclothes officer was checking activity in Reservoir Park about 12:45 p.m. when he saw an elderly man sitting in a vehicle, Temme said.
A second vehicle pulled in and parked, Temme said, and a man, identified as Tampa, got out. Reynolds got out of his vehicle shortly after, Temme said.
