Archbishop Robert J. Carlson apologized to the parish for the arrest of Reverend James P. Grady at a Saturday mass at St. Raphael the Archangel Catholic Church, reports upi.com. The priest was arrested Wednesday on charges that he agreed to pay a 16-year-old girl for oral sex. Apparently the priest was caught in a sex-sting in which an undercover investigator posed as a 16-year-old girl. Grady was arrested when he arrived for the rendezvous that had been arranged via e-mail.
