SAN ANTONIO (AP) - A Catholic priest faces criminal charges after allegedly exposing himself to an
undercover police officer in a public park restroom late last week.
Rev. Jerzy Sieczynski, 52, was arrested Friday afternoon on a charge of indecent exposure. He was
later released on bond.
The priest will be placed on administrative leave by the Archdiocese of San Antonio while an
investigation is conducted, church spokesman Deacon Pat Rodgers said in Monday's editions of the
San Antonio Express-News.
Sieczynski, associate pastor of St. Matthew's Catholic Church on San Antonio's north side, was
arrested in the men's public restroom at Acequia Park on the city's south side.
According to the police report, Sieczynski drove past an undercover officer several times, smiling at
him each time. When the police officer left his unmarked car and entered the restroom, the priest
followed and greeted him as he walked to a urinal.
Sieczynski then allegedly turned from the urinal and exposed himself to the officer. A second officer
entered the restroom and arrested the priest.
