St. Louis priest faces new sex charge
Rev. James P. Grady
A St. Louis priest already accused of trying to pay for sex with a 16-year-old girl was indicted Thursday on new charges, including a child pornography charge.
The superseding indictment handed up Thursday afternoon accuses the Rev. James P. Grady of possessing three pornographic images of young girls. One of the photos also had a nude male in it, the indictment says. Prosecutors also added a felony charge of “coercion and enticement.”
Grady was first indicted July 30 on a felony charge of attempting to obtain a minor for a commercial sex act after being caught up in a sex sting being run by the FBI and police from St. Louis County and Maryland Heights.
Prosecutors say Grady spotted an ad in the “adult services” section of the Craigslist website that used three code words taken from child pornography and often used to describe underage girls. Grady exchanged e-mails with an undercover officer, then showed up at a house somewhere in St. Louis County after agreeing to pay $80 for 30 minutes with the girl and asking for “kissing” and oral sex, according to court documents.
In testimony during a pretrial hearing last month, FBI Special Agent Cynthia Dockery said that Grady was suspicious that the deal was a law enforcement set-up, and tried to back out once at the house. Agents pulled their guns and had to force an uncooperative Grady into handcuffs.

Pictures of little GIRLS!?!
What kind of Priest is he?
Where are the people that were defending this guy when he was originally caught?
You all know this won’t bring out the vultures and crows for this article, based on a couple of facts, he’s not black and it didn’t happen on the North Side.
You can tell he’s not right. He has the tell tale pedosmile.
Yuck!
He is going to have to say about 25,000 Hail Marys as pennance.
Good! I am glad they caught him, glad they restrained him, hope they get him off the streets and lock him up. Here’s another example of hypocrisy in organized religion and violation of trust. Let the “buyer” beware.
the generous donations from church going catholics is probably going to defend this guy as well as release him on bail i will bet.
A priest and child porn? Surely you must be joking?
grady is currently out on bail and staying at the vianney renewal center in ditmer,mo. all paid for thru the generous donations of catholics on sunday mornings. as a catholic myself i can forgive him but i dont believe many catholics would agree with a policy like this. is it any wonder the catholic religion is in a state of disarray.
This is REPULSIVE!!! He tries to basically BUY an under age girl and THEN gets caught with naked pictures of girls AND THE CATHOLIC RELIGION IS STILL STANDING BEHIND HIM!!!! Sure-do all of this bad stuff and go on a lovely fall time retreat in Dittmer!!! VERY PROUD I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOR WILL I EVER BE A CATHLOIC.
