The trial of a Catholic priest arrested for jogging naked is set to begin in the American state of Colorado.
Rev. Robert Whipkey was charged with indecent exposure after inadvertently bumping into a patrolling police officer in Weld County, Colorado on an early morning run in the buff in June 2007.
The 53-year-old naked cleric insisted that he only ran in the nude because his large size made him sweat profusely whenever he exercised in full training kit. According to a police report, Whipkey admitted that he had been jogging around the Frederick High School athletics track in the predawn darkness because he didn’t think anyone would see him at such an early hour.
Sadly for Rev Whipkey, the police weren’t the only people who didn’t buy his innocent explanation. The declothed clergyman was placed on administrative leave by the Archdiocese of Denver in August 2007 who also confirmed that Whipkey was previously investigated for "inappropriate personal behavior" more than eight years ago when he was the pastor of St. Anthony's Parish in Sterling, Colorado.
Although indecent exposure is considered a misdemeanor, Rev Whipkey will have to register as a sex offender is he is found guilty. He could also face up to 18 months in jail.
