Sister Rapp was a nun for nearly half a century, but for five years until April, 2011 she had a very bad habit. Although she denied it when she was first arrested last year, she’s now admitted stealing around $128,000 from two New York churches to fund her insatiable desire to gamble in local casinos. The theft came to light in the course of a routine audit. She’s due to be sentenced by Judge James Punch on 1st July.
