63-year-old Monsignor Kevin Wallin of Waterbury, was also accused of purchasing an adult toy shop and having s*x with men. Wallin pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to sell methamphetamine and agreed to a possible sentence of 11 years in prison.

Prosecutors told the judge that Wallin committed serious crimes, including conspiracy to sell methamphetamine.
Wallin had associates in California, who sent him one to three pounds of methamphetamine a month. Wallin ran the drug operation outside his apartment.
