Priest sentenced to 5 years probation
I have not heard such a sentence and offence that happen to priest before. In the first place what is this former Priest thinking? If he wants to jog without clothes can he jog at the garden behind his own house or church when no outsiders around? Then now he went out jogging to show his naked body to people and try get sympathy and blame judge for loosing his job as a priest? If he is a godly person firstly he should not have taken priesthood as a job. He should be willing to serve God and his people and at the same time carry himself properly not exposing himself to others.Read this !
A Catholic priest convicted of indecent exposure for jogging naked around a track at a high school has been sentenced to five years probation.
Rev. Robert Whipkey must also complete 100 hours of community service and register as a sex offender under the sentence handed down Thursday in Weld County District Court.
The Denver archdiocese said Whipkey, of Frederick, was placed on leave last year. He officiated at parishes in Frederick, Mead and Erie. He was arrested about an hour before sunrise on June 22, 2007.
Dressed in a blue shirt and slacks, Whipkey told Judge Timothy Kerns that the conviction has ruined his life and that he is unemployed.
