A Detroit, Michigan priest is accused of using a 13-year-old girl's hair as dental floss.

Father Carlos Martins, 50, is accused of grabbing the young girl's hair and pretending to floss with it. The alleged incident happened at a church in Illinois in November of 2024.

The priest was out of state to see a national touring exhibit of St. Jude the Apostle.

If Carlos Martins rings a bell, he co-hosts The Exorcist Files podcast. Can this story get any weirder?

According to the New York Post, Father Martins said something to the teen regarding her hair before grabbing it. Afterward, the priest sat behind the girl and made a growling noise.

Police were called to the scene at St. Paul the Apostle Church in Joliet, and Father Carlos Martins was charged with misdemeanor battery. According to FOX 32, Martins was arrested on Monday, January 27th, 2025.

Since the arrest, Father Martins has been released and is scheduled to appear in court. A lawyer for the accused priest calls the charges "egregious and unfounded". You can read the official statement here.
