罪名成立的巴拉腊教区神父莱恩(Paul David Ryan)表示,穆肯斯(Ronald Mulkearns)主教于1977年已得悉其罪行,但直至1993年才辞退其神职职位。“莱恩认为穆肯斯主教对教区内的性虐待问题视而不见”,协助委员会的资深律师弗内斯(Gail Furness)表示。她指,穆肯斯亦认为向警方举报利斯德尔(Gerald Francis Ridsdale)神父的罪行并非其职责。利斯德尔在维省九个教区及教会地点担任神职期间曾虐待逾50名儿童。弗内斯指,他首次被穆肯斯发现性虐待因任职神父所接触男童13年后,于1988年6月利斯德尔方被停职12个月。
Pastor caught having gay sex in van spent stolen church money on farmer dating website: police
A Tennessee pastor who was recently admonished by police for having sex with another man in a church van parked in a parking lot, was arrested this week for embezzling an estimated $60,000 from his church’s coffers.
Boyd Watson Holder Jr. 44, was taken into custody after church officials reported that between $70,000 and $100,000 had been discovered missing from the Victory Apostolic Church bank account in Kingsport, reports the TimesNews.
It has been a rough six months for Holder, who was discovered by police last December having sex with another man in a church van in an empty parking lot. Holder reportedly apologized to the officers and was told to not “have relations in public” again before being ordered off the property.
In February church officials alerted police that money was missing from a church bank account that only Holder had access to.
When asked about the missing money, Holder told church members, “It’s none of your business.”
An analysis of bank financial records was submitted to a grand jury which handed down an indictment of theft and money laundering, both Class B felonies.
According to witnesses who appeared before the grand jury, money appears to have been spent on dating sites Online Buddies and Farmers Only, as well as for auto repairs.
Holder was taken into custody by Kingsport detectives, with bail set at $35,000. http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/ ... ing-website-police/
