A Catholic priest has been charged with attempted sexual communication with a child.
The PSNI said a 58-year-old man was charged on Friday.
He is due to appear at a special sitting of Londonderry Magistrates' Court sitting at Dungannon Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
The Diocese of Derry has been approached but declined to comment.
On Thursday, after the priest was arrested, the Diocese of Derry said it was aware of a video showing "an incident outside a hotel in the Derry city involving a priest of this diocese".
"The diocese knows that a video of the incident has been posted online and we understand the PSNI have been involved," a spokesperson for the diocese said.
