REGINA -- A Roman Catholic priest has pleaded guilty to soliciting child prostitutes in Regina.
Pedro Surtida Aldea, 67, pleaded guilty to obtaining the sexual services of a girl under the age of 18 on several occasions between Dec. 1, 2003 and April 3, 2004, and from another child between Jan. 1, 2004 and April 30, 2004.
The Crown stayed two charges of making child pornography by taking photographs of the girls.
Aldea sat quietly with his head down during his brief court appearance yesterday, speaking only to enter his pleas.
He will appear in court again in October for a sentencing hearing.
