A West Palm Beach priest was arrested Monday after allegedly showing child pornography to a 14-year-old boy.
Jose Palimatton admitted to a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputy that he asked the boy to remove the pornographic images from his cell phone and knew the minor’s age but “considered [the victim] to be mature and viewed him as an adult,” according to an arrest report.
Palimatton, 47, is facing a charge of distributing obscene material to a minor. Palimatton is being held in the Palm Beach County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bond.
Palimatton allegedly had approximately 40 pornographic images on his phone of nude pre-teen boys.
