Minister Jailed for Identity Theft

Another example of black collar crime:

Pa. minister gets jail time for identity theft

8/14/2008, 4:34 p.m. EDT  The Associated Press  

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — A Baptist minister in central Pennsylvania has been sentenced to one year in jail for stealing the identities of his church members.

Forty-four-year-old Raymond Clayton Sr. was also ordered to pay more than $28,000 in restitution at his sentencing Wednesday.

Clayton is the former pastor of Grace Fellowship Church near Mount Carmel.

Federal prosecutors say Clayton used parishioners' personal information to obtain credit cards between November 2006 and April 2007. He pleaded guilty in March to access device fraud.

The church has since disbanded.

Only a year?  You've gotta

Only a year?  You've gotta be joking, most people get 8+ for doing such a thing even when they get much less out of it.

Organised religion is the ultimate form of blasphemy.

Bail

 

  I"m surprised the members of his church didn't donate to his bail and take up a collection to pay his $28,000.00 + in restitution.

the guy's a minister. He's serving time for getting caught, not for committing the thefts.
