A 58-YEAR-OLD priest has been arrested on suspicion of attempted sexual communication with a child.
The arrest followed a video depicting a so-called paedophile sting operation that was widely circulated earlier today on social media by a group called ‘Justice Reborn’.
A PSNI spokesperson said: “A 58-year-old man was arrested on Thursday, April 17 on suspicion of attempted sexual communication with a child. He remains in police custody at his time. There are no further details.”
In a statement, the Diocese of Derry said it is ‘aware of an incident outside a hotel in Derry city involving a priest of this diocese’.
“The diocese knows that a video of the incident has been posted online and we understand the PSNI have been involved. Currently, the diocese has no further information.”
