A Catholic priest from Michigan was charged with battery after he was accused by police of “flossing” his teeth with a teenage girl’s hair.

The alleged incident happened in November in Joliet, Illinois while Carlos Martins, 50, was giving a presentation at Queen of Apostles Catholic Church as part of his tour of relics of St. Jude. In interviews with Joliet police, teenage students who were there claimed that they witnessed Martins allegedly pretending to “floss” his teeth with one girl’s hair. The girl also reportedly told her father that Martins sat behind her and “growled.” Martins, through his attorney, denied the allegations.
