Pastor Toris Young Convicted For Theft of $1 Million in Hurricane Katrina Loans, Gets 10 Years

A former New Orleans pastor was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in federal prison for stealing nearly $1 million in disaster loan payments meant to rebuild his church after Hurricane Katrina.

Toris Young, 41, apologized for his “mistakes” and “bad choices” before U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier handed down a sentence that was roughly twice that recommended under federal sentencing guidelines.
