(Frederick, Colorado) A Catholic priest faces an
indecent exposure charge after jogging in the nude about an hour before sunrise.
The Rev. Robert Whipkey told officers he had been running
naked at a high school track and didn't think anyone would be around at that
time of day, a police report said.
He told officers he sweats profusely if he wears clothing
while jogging. "I know what I did was wrong," he said in the report.
Whipkey did not return phone messages. His attorney, Doug
Tisdale, told the Daily Times-Call of Longmont that Whipkey had no comment.
Whipkey, 53, was arrested around 4:30 a.m. June 22 in this
town about 20 miles north of Denver.
The Archdiocese of Denver said it takes the incident
seriously but is awaiting the outcome of the case. Whipkey remains an active
priest.
If convicted of indecent exposure, a misdemeanor, he would
have to register as a sex offender, prosecutors said.
