THE TELEGRAPH: A Catholic priest in the United States has been charged with stealing $1.3 million (£858,000) in church money over seven years to use for male escorts, expensive clothing and luxury hotels and restaurants.
The Rev. Kevin J. Gray, former pastor at Sacred Heart/Sagrado Corazon Parish in Waterbury, Connecticut, was arrested and charged with first-degree larceny, Waterbury police said. Arraignment was expected Tuesday in Waterbury Superior Court.
Gray, 64, used the money to stay at such hotels as the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City and on expensive clothing labels including Armani suits, said Capt Christopher Corbett. He also paid the college tuition and rent of two men he had met, Capt Corbett said. >>> | Wednesday, July 07, 2010
