Euro Porn Star Arrested for Shooting Movie in Austrian Church

HOERSCHING, Austria—It was a story ready-made for right-wing websites, and sure enough, we learned of it from Glenn Beck himself: Priest Bernhard Pauer reported to Austrian police that he had evidence that an adult movie had been shot in his church without his knowledge—and he found out about it because one of his parishioners, while "surfing the internet," just stumbled across a clip from the movie and recognized the locale as the church he attended when not surfing the internet—and definitely not surfing it for porn; nosiree! It's unclear whether the unwary surfer found just the clip or also some photos from the shoot—but later, during an investigation, three videos turned up online depicting the woman "jilling off" while holding a Bible and a rosary. In any case, photos of the woman's breasts (pictured), none of which showed her face, were supplied to police, which in turn supplied them to local media, asking that anyone with information about the woman contact police immediately, since she would be charged with "offending religious feeling" and "desecration of a church"—two "crimes" that some here in the U.S. would dearly love to enact in the American criminal justice system. But lo and behold, yet another Austrian citizen, who likely was also just "surfing the internet," told police that he recognized the woman in the photos—actually, he said he specifically recognized her breasts—as a porn star by the name of Babsi, a 24-year-old resident of Hoersching who had moved there from Poland when she was a youngster. She's described on the Internet Adult Film Database as being German, and has acted under several names including Cherie. She's appeared in several movies for German producer Magma, and also had a role in Evil Angel's top-rated 2007 film, Fashionistas Safado: Berlin. "We have identified a suspect. She has already been questioned and has made a full confession," said police spokesman David Furtnerteich. The name of Babsi's movie has not been released, but the whole affair apparently scandalized Austria's Catholic community and caused a fierce debate among church fathers as to whether the church would now have to be reconsecrated after having been defiled by... sex. But as the Austrian Times reported, "in the end it was decided that it was not necessary as the woman's sins had not been enough to drive out God." Whew! Close one!
