A Pastor Filmed His ‘Demonic’ Threesome In A Louisiana Church

Reverend Travis Clark

St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office/Public DomainThe Archbishop of New Orleans called this 37-year-old pastor’s sexual activity on the altar “demonic.”

There’s nothing wrong with filming consensual sex with anyone of consenting age, but things get dicey when it’s done on top of a church altar with a pastor and two dominatrices. Welcome to our next piece of weird news which took place in Louisiana in October 2020.

Reverend Travis Clark might have gotten away with his daring stunt if not for a nosey passerby. When the anonymous witness walked by Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Roman Church at an odd hour that evening, they noticed that the lights were on and peered inside.

There they found the ambitious trio atop the altar, the two women in heels and corsets, surrounded by film equipment. The witness took out their cell phone and shared the file with the police, believing that the reverend had hired prostitutes.

A statement on the threesome by New Orleans Archbishop Gregory Aymond.

But the lawyer for dominatrices Mindy “Lady Vi” Dixon and Melissa “Empress Ming” Cheng asserted that his clients weren’t prostitutes. Unfortunately, however, their acts did constitute obscenity as they were in view of the public. This constitutes a felony with a three-year maximum sentence in New Orleans.

“The fact that ‘Lady Vi’ and ‘Empress Ming’ are being vilified like this is quite frankly, appalling,” said lawyer Bradley Phillips. “I understand that people may be upset about the situation, but that does not make this conduct illegal.”

To New Orleans Archbishop Gregory Michael Aymond, this strange news story wasn’t just odd, it was sacrilegious. After learning of the sexual act, Aymond ordered that the altar be burned. He called Clark’s actions “deplorable” and “demonic.”

Ultimately, all three participants were arrested and charged. As for Reverend Clark, he’ll “never again” work as a priest if Archbishop Aymond has a say in it.

As they say, bad things typically come in threes.
