Nun Mary Turcotte recants accusation of rape after police release sketch of made-up suspect
NY Daily News ^ | 1 Feb 2010 | Alison Gendar and James Fanelli

A Brooklyn nun from a fringe Christian sect has confessed to an unholy lie: telling cops she was sexually attacked and left unconscious in a snowbank, sources said Monday.

After a police search for a hulking black man was launched, the 26-year-old white woman from the Apostles of Infinite Love convent in East Flatbush recanted, the sources said.

She told cops she made up the story in an attempt to cover up a consensual sex romp with a bodega worker inside the Glenwood Ave. residence.

A woman in religious garb who answered the door at the convent said the nun, identified as Mary Turcotte, suffered an "emotional break" and made everything up - even her excuse.

"Nothing happened, none of it," said the woman, who declined to give her name.

"It was all proven to be false. It wasn't her fault. She is going to move out and we are going to get her some help."

The convent appears to be linked to a Canadian-based religious order founded in the 1960s by a defrocked Catholic priest who ordained himself Pope.

“the Apostles of Infinite Love “

This is an offshoot of the “Church of What’s Happening Now”.

The use of “nun” in this story and headline is irresponsible. She is not a nun in any normmal sense of the word. She belongs to some wackgroup.

It seems that people can call themselves whatever they want. Hence the Westboro "Baptist" Church.

I am a billionaire by the way.

BS. Your hollow protests of innocence only compound the offensiveness. Just why do you think it’s OK to target Catholic clergy and religious for stupid sexual innuendo?

No more of this, please.

I didn’t do it! I swear, I’m innocent, I tell ya! I wasn’t even there! Someone set me up! I’m the fall guy! Honest... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN’T MY FAULT I SWEAR!!!!!
