Monk Arrested in Sex Sting
One of three men arrested last week at a local adult video store was a Benedictine monk from south Louisiana, The Times has learned. Michael Kavanagh, 62, who gave Shreveport police an address on River Road in "Lake Benedict" when he was booked on an obscenity charge late Wednesday, is Father Aelred Kavanagh, then a member of the faculty at St. Joseph's Abbey and Seminary in St. Tammany Parish. The Benedictine abbey and the seminary are on River Road near Covington. Kavanagh was arrested by Shreveport vice unit officers in the same sweep that netted two other men, all of whom reportedly were masturbating separately at showings in two theaters at Capri Video, a store in the 2000 block of Nelson Street in the Agurs business district, Shreveport police spokeswoman Kacee Hargrave said.
