A retired Los Angeles nun will plead guilty to embezzling $835,000 from the elementary school where she worked in order to cover her gambling habits and other personal expenses, officials said this week.
Kreuper, who had taken a vow of poverty as a nun, worked as a principal at St. James Catholic School for 28 years and allegedly embezzled the funds for 10 years until her retirement in 2018. "The community of faith at St. James was shocked and saddened by these actions and the parish, school and the archdiocese reported the matter and fully cooperated with authorities in the criminal investigation," the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which reported discrepancies in school funds in 2018 to authorities, said in a statement, according to The Los Angeles Times.More Related News
