Gambling nun jailed

A ROMAN Catholic nun has been sentenced to 90 days in jail for stealing nearly $130,000 (£87,000) from two western New York parishes to support a gambling addiction.  

Sister Mary Anne Rapp was also ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and repay the money. 

The 68-year-old admitted stealing from St Mary's Church in Holley and St Mark's Church in Kendall from 2006 to 2011.
