Del. Priest Who Stole From Parishioner Sentenced

-A Roman Catholic priest in Delaware has been sentenced to a year in prison for stealing more than $300,000 from a parishioner.
The Rev. Michael Angeloni also was ordered Friday to pay $305,425 in restitution to the 86-year-old victim. In addition, Angeloni was ordered to have no contact with the victim, casinos, or other gambling establishments, to continue receiving gambling treatment, and to obtain a mental health evaluation and follow any recommended treatment.
Angeloni faced up to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty last November to one count of theft of more than $100,000.
Prosecutors say Angeloni stole the money from a parishioner of the Church of the Holy Child, where he previously served as assistant pastor. The investigation began last year after the attorney general's office received a report from Wilmington Trust of suspicious financial activity on the victim's account.
Prosecutors said Angeloni solicited money from the victim on several occasions to pay certain expenses but used the money for other purposes.
