Sounds like a modern day marriage transaction. The diocese will probably replace him with a gay priest to avoid the male/female problem. What a sad joke.

She looks like Megan Fox!
She violated the so called Non Disclosure Agreement in spite of him throwing all that money at her. She wasn’t afraid of his reaction. Maybe he was two timing her and she found out.
Okay, Padre, inquiring minds want to know, where did you get all that ready cash to maintain this business relationship?
I thought they took a Vow of Poverty.
Maybe they used to.

I would agree there is no way she was worth it.

Looks like an old 40, not 17. Ridden hard and put away wet too many times.

“She looks like Megan Fox!”

Well, they are both females with dark hair and light eyes.

And trashy.

After that, not so much.

Could the priest say he was just trying to exorcise the Devil out of her?

“A vulnerable stripper, who bilked 136k out of him. Vulnerable is not a word I would ever apply to a stripper. She was the very definition of a predator.”

True. The woman is more of a predator than he is. And she got at least high six figures from him over the years. 120k just this past year.

More from the article:

“Between just July 18, 2024, and March this year, a Venmo account under Jones’ name had paid Jones almost $120,000, she told the Guardian.
Jones said she felt compelled to go public with the allegations because Sullivan works so closely with families and their children at his church.
‘Others may be vulnerable to the same type of manipulation and exploitation,’ she told the paper.”

She decided to blame her problems on him because the money dried up. She should be in trouble for extortion.

In Texas, prostitution and minors working at topless bars are illegal, as I’m pretty sure they are everywhere in the US. But 17 is the legal age of consent here.

Why isn’t she putting the spotlight on “adult entertainment” and its exploitation of her as a minor?

You said ‘ever’ - sloppy thinking at best.

Years long and she is now 17? Well, that makes him a pedo, so this will be covered up by the Church. He will go into “counseling” for a year or so and then re-assigned to another parish instead of being excommunicated for having violated his oath of celibacy to his Gawd.

https://www.al.com/news/2025/08/alabama-priest-on-leave-after-woman-alleges-relationship-began-when-she-was-17.html

...Heather Jones, 33, says she met Sullivan in 2009 when she was 17, dancing at a strip club where Sullivan was a patron...

...Jones told the Guardian she recently began law school and did not abide by the terms of the non-disclosure statement with Sullivan because she believed it would not hold up in court...

Priest or not

If you’re banging a woman half your age you’re giving her something besides the Ingersoll Rand

Likely some spending money or rent etc

It’s just life
