YOWny101208.jpgA St. John’s University chaplain was charged Friday with transmitting an obscene Webcam image of himself to someone he thought was a 13-year-old boy, police sources said.

The Rev. Charles Plock, 63, picked the wrong “teen” to e-mail his homemade masturbation movies, authorities said. The recipient was actually Detective Mark Michieli of the Adams County, Colo., sheriff’s office, who pretended he was a youth in an online sting operation. Cops traced Plock’s e-mail to St. John’s, the Catholic university in Queens, where he is a chaplain and youth minister…. “His face is clear in the video. It looks like he filmed it in his bathroom at St. John’s, and he sent it to someone he thought was a teenager,” the source said….

“Wow, so he’s going to hell now?” said St. John’s freshman Vito Sapienza, 18. “Wait till my mom hears about this. She’s going to think twice about sending me to a Catholic school.”

YPWal101208.jpgA youth minister is accused of sexually abusing a 14-year-old boy. 23-year-old Robert Poitier was arrested last night after the pastor had contacted police several months ago. Investigators say Poitier used his position as a youth pastor to gain trust at the church and be left alone with children.

Police say Poitier has worked at other churches in the area and want to know if anyone else has been harmed.

  1. Why is it police have the time to ask for masturbation videos posing as 13 year old boys, but they don’t seem to have the time to come to our homes when 13 year old boys are crawling in through the bathroom window stealing the stereo?
