A CATHOLIC priest has been jailed for three years after stealing more than ?640,000 in church money and spending it on male escorts and a lavish lifestyle.

The Reverend Kevin Gray, 65, was also sentenced to three years’ probation.

A plea of no contest was given on behalf of Gray, a former pastor in Connecticut, US, meaning he did not admit guilt. But a conviction for first-degree theft was put on his record.

Gray will not have to pay the money back as his diocese did not ask for it.
