A Malawian court convicted a Catholic priest and a nun of disorderly conduct Thursday after they were caught engaged in a sexual act in a parked car with tinted windows.
The Malawian priest, 43, and the 26-year-old nun from neighboring Zambia spent the night in police cells after being caught in the act Wednesday, police said.
A court in the capital Lilongwe handed down suspended jail sentences of six months with hard labor after the pair pleaded guilty to charges of idleness and disorderly conduct.
"These people were caught in a sex act," Assistant Superintendent Kelvin Maigwa told Reuters.
Officials in the Roman Catholic Church, whose priests are barred from sex or marriage, declined to comment.
They are probably thinking this is the best news about a priest in quite awhile!
