A minister faces the prospect of a jail sentence after a jury convicted him of defrauding £10,000 on Tuesday.
A minister is facing a potential jail sentence after he was convicted him of defrauding £10,000 from his church.
The jury of 10 men and two women had deliberated for just over six hours over the course of two days before declaring the Church of Ireland minister guilty. He was found to have written a cheque for £10,000 from the church bank account which he then made payable to himself. On Monday the jury had found him unanimously guilty of a similar offence of fraud by abuse of position by taking a £1,000 donation from a grieving widow to line his own pockets in that similarly to the first count, he “failed to give or declare the said donation to the treasurer of Church Vestry and made the cheque payable to yourself personally".
