	Priest in Brazil Accused of Having "Erotic Dungeon" CNN May 21, 2010 http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/05/21/priest-in-brazil-accused-of-having-erotic-dungeon/ A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a Polish-born priest accused of sexually abusing minors in his parochial residence, Rio de Janeiro state officials said Thursday. State civil police issued a "preventative arrest warrant" for the Polish-born priest Marcin Michal Strachanowski, 44, who is accused of handcuffing a minor in 2006 and forcing him to perform deviant sexual acts in his residence in the Divino Espirito Santo church in Rio de Janeiro's West zone, the officials said. According to Brazil's Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper, the priest could not be found Friday morning. The newspaper reported that a 16-year old alleged victim told investigators that after being frequently raped by the priest, he was forced to remain silent and was threatened regularly. Quoting his court statements, the newspaper reported that a criminal judge, Alexandre Abrahao Dias Teixeira, said police investigations revealed the profile of a man with a "compulsive attraction to having sex with adolescents" and that he had allegedly turned his parish residence into an "erotic dungeon" where he forced boys to have sex with him.
