A Catholic monk who admitted sending naked photographs of himself to a woman holidaymaker will not be prosecuted after the Crown Prosecution Service ruled the snaps were 'spiritual'. She said: 'He's admitted sending the pictures, I can't understand why he is not being taken to court. But Miss Love said she was 'startled' when he began enclosing naked photographs of himself in the letters. She ignored them, but last year the monk started sending the same indecent images to her mobile phone. He said: 'It's appalling that CPS lawyers have agreed that these photos are spiritual and even artistic just because he's a monk.
