A Utah priest has been charged with patronizing a prostitute after he was arrested by Salt Lake City police in August during a sting operation.
Andrzej Skrzypiec, 63, who was then leading Salt Lake City’s Saint Ambrose Parish and was chaplain over J.E. Cosgriff Memorial Catholic School, approached an undercover officer downtown near 200 N. 900 West on Aug. 24, according to a probable cause statement. He allegedly agreed to pay her $30 for oral sex and she told him to meet her at a nearby hotel, the statement said.
Another officer waiting down the street pulled Skrzypiec over when he left the area and arrested him.
