A Pennsylvania church treasurer has been charged with stealing over $150,000 from his congregation to use on a pornography website, according to authorities.
Glenn Yothers, who had served as treasurer at Saint Paul Lutheran Church of Latrobe for 12 years, was charged with stealing the lofty sum over four years.
Yothers was released from jail on a signature bond, meaning he didn t have to pay the court to be released, provided he agrees to return to court, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for March 24.
The Christian Post reached out to Saint Paul Lutheran Church for comment on Thursday, but the church did not respond by press time.

LAVALE â Cecil Bell was strong and full of energy. His regular activities ranged from extensive yard work to lifting 50-pound boxes of produce for the local food bank.
He spent much of his time volunteering to help others.
He and his wife, Marsha â a priest associate at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Cumberland â were childhood friends in Sweeny, Texas, and in 2015 reconnected at their 50-year high school reunion.
They married the following year and lived in LaVale.
âHospitality, friendliness, work for the needy,â is part of the way Marsha Bell describes her husband.
