Priest From Weymouth Allegedly Seen Multiple Times Around Prostitutes
A catholic priest from Weymouth was arrested on Sunday in Lowell for paying for a prostitute and police say it wasn't the first time he's been seen around one.

Police say the Lowell priest from Weymouth, who was arrested for paying for sex over the weekend, was no stranger to prostitutes.
Monsignor Arthur Coyle, a top official in the Merrimack Valley area for the Archdiocese of Boston was first allegedly stopped by police last November, when officers spotted his car passing by a known prostitute and pulling to the side of the road to get her attention, the Lowell Sun reported.
Since that incident, officers have spotted him allegedly driving at night through two spots known for prostitution and stopping every time he would see a single female or prostitute walking, the Sun reported.
