A Catholic priest who was arrested in April and charged with indecent exposure after police said he solicited sex has pleaded no contest.

Rocky Henri Lee Grimard, an Oblate of Mary Immaculate priest from Canada, was arrested April 1 after he approached undercover park police officers at Olmos Park, solicited oral sex from one of them and exposed himself to conduct a sex act, according to a report.

The officers said Grimard then touched the crotch of one of the officers, after which they identified themselves and took him into custody, the report stated. He was later released after posting $1,600 bail.

“Father Grimard does not have an assignment in the Archdiocese of San Antonio,” said Jordan McMorrough, director of communications for the archdiocese. “At the time of his arrest on April 1, he was serving at the Lebh Shomea House of Prayer in Sarita.”
