Priest gets 2 years of probation in harassment case

Stamford, Connecticut -

A Roman Catholic priest was sentenced to two years of probation yesterday for harassing a female employee at Sacred Heart Church in Greenwich.

The Rev. Douglas Tufaro, 53, was arrested on a warrant in October and charged with five counts of second-degree harassment. Tufaro has been on a leave of absence from the Diocese of Bridgeport for unknown reasons.

Tufaro appeared in state Superior Court in Stamford on an application for accelerated rehabilitation, a program for first-time offenders that eventually wipes their record clean after a period of probation.

Assistant State's Attorney Steve Weiss didn't argue the application but asked for two years of probation because Tufaro was in counseling at the time of his arrest.

The ‘harassment charge’ was ‘telephone harassment’ made by an old lady housekeeper who said my number rang late at night on 5 occasions and and woke her up.
