Homophobic Monk who confronted Leicester lesbian witches convicted of harassment

Homophobic Monk who confronted Leicester lesbian witches convicted of harassment

Damon Kelly, 53, from a Catholic group calling themselves the Black Hermits, delivers leaflets nationally against homosexuality and other things.

CPS District Crown Prosecutor Nigel Chapman at Leicester Magistrates Court described a confrontation the Monk had with the lesbian witches as they tried to return a leaflet to the
monk he said "keep it, urinate on it, defecate on it".

Mr Kelly also posted a letter to the lesbian witches  "To the witches from the monk" which described "witches, gays, lesbians and sex-changers" as being part of the "devil's madness".

The Monk of St Patrick's Church in Millais Road, Corby, has taken vows of poverty and chastity.

The District Judge Tim Daber said a fine would not be suitable and ordered the case be adjourned for three weeks to assess whether Kelly was fit for unpaid work.

The Monk was released on bail with the condition not to deliver any leaflets.
