What a deal, every time you bought some meth, you get a free confessional and some head. Back in January 61 Year Old Catholic priest Kevin Wallin was indicted for allegedly having sex with other men in drag while high on crystal meth. Not only was he taking meth, but he was selling it as well. In fact he was doing so well (over $300K from his home) that he decided to buy a porn and sex toy shop "Land of Oz" in New Haven to launder all the drug money he made selling meth in his bi-coastal drug distribution operation.
According to the NY Post, “Federal agents arrested Wallin on Jan. 3, and a grand jury indicted him and four other people on drug charges on Jan. 15. All are charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of a substance containing meth and 50 grams of actual meth, a crime that carries 10 years to life in prison upon conviction.”
Wallin and the Church have parted ways, but only relatively recently. “Wallin's last position was that of monsignor of the church's principal parish in Bridgeport, St. Augustine's,” reported the Hartford Courant. “He resigned and was granted a sabbatical in 2011 for what the diocese called ‘health and personal issues’ amid signs of increasingly odd behavior.” That's a nice way of putting it.
Wallin has reportedly now changed his plea to guilty. “Wallin's federal public defender filed notice in federal court Tuesday of the change of plea and a hearing has been scheduled for April 2, at noon, in Hartford,” reported the Courant.
