HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- A former priest with a checkered past is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday morning on child sex charges.

Thomas Bender is accused of traveling from Pennsylvania to Nassau County, thinking he was going to take a 14-year-old boy to a hotel, police said.

Instead, he was met by detectives.


Bender was granted seven years probation in 1988 after sexually abusing a teenage altar boy near Allentown, Newsday reported in Wednesday's editions.
