Brisbane cathedral dean retires after OnlyFans show filming controversy

Dean Peter Catt of Brisbane's St John's Cathedral is retiring. A Stan series filmed OnlyFans creators at the church.

Catt led Brisbane's 125-year-old St John's Cathedral as dean for 18 years. Now he is retiring.

The church faced a dispute over Stan's reality series Turned On: Dirty Sexy Money. The show featured OnlyFans creator Lily Phillips taking part in a church ceremony at the cathedral.

Catt said he did not do enough to protect people during filming. He said sorry after footage of congregation members and children appeared in the episode.

Stan later blurred or removed those people after the diocese asked for changes. The Anglican Diocese of Brisbane is now checking its rules for approving films.

Catt's final Sunday as dean is set for September 27.
