Sex offender Harry Benjamin found preaching at Dignity
Sex offender Harry Benjamin found preaching at Dignity Harry Benjamin has reportedly been presiding over Mass for the northern Virginia chapter of Dignity, the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Catholic organization. Trouble is that Benjamin, 63, a former Catholic priest, did prison time in Michigan in 2003 after pleading no contest to charges that he assaulted a 14-year-old boy in the mid-1980s, when he worked as a priest in Detroit. He's listed on the Virginia sex offender registry and prosecutors in Michigan say they recently were notified that Benjamin might be violating the terms of his probation. Authorities want to know if he's come into contact with any minors while at Dignity, and Dignity USA officials said they too are investigating whether Benjamin violated their policies. They hope to conclude their inquiry by the end of the week. The Catholic Church does not sanction Benjamin's return to the altar.�[Date: 10-Aug-05 ]
