Manhattan Escorts: Police: Priest Used Parish Money For Hotels, Male Escorts
Zhong said he asked Gray several times why Gray was paying him with checks from the Sacred Heart Church bank account instead of Gray’s personal account. Gray said he placed his life savings, including money he had earned from winning big cases as an attorney, into the church’s account.
While police questioned Zhong on June 10, Gray arrived at the apartment. Zhong asked police if he could speak with Gray first. In the presence of the detectives, Zhong asked Gray if he was an attorney, if he had ever attended Georgetown, if he had colon cancer and if he had ever had cancer. To all four questions, Gray answered “No,” the affidavit states.
He admitted to writing himself checks, paying his American Express bills and paying money to Zhong for his rent. He told police he used his American Express card to purchase clothes, dinners, hotel rooms and escort services.
