A Russian priest has reportedly been arrested after allegedly filming sick sex attacks on more than 50 children.
Yury Abramov, 39, a former activist in the pro-Putin political party United Russia, faces multiple charges of abuse from the last decade.
Known as Father Spiridon, the alleged paedophile is accused of molesting children aged 12 to 16, and making pornographic videos of his victims.
The now-suspended priest is also a computer sciences teacher at a school in Amurzet, eastern Russia.
A church bell ringer named Sergey Moos, 27, is suspected of acting as an accomplice.
A total of 53 children are suspected to be victims of Abramov, state media outlet RIA Novosti reported, citing a law enforcement source.
