HAVERHILL — A Haverhill priest is accused of stealing more than $83,000 from a Roman Catholic church and using some of the money to support a pornography habit.

The Rev. Keith LeBlanc resigned in June after six years as pastor of St. John the Baptist Church. He was arraigned last week on larceny and forgery charges and released on personal recognizance.

A police report obtained by the Eagle-Tribune of Lawrence said LeBlanc had a credit card he used for online pornography and that he admitted to an investigator for the Boston archdiocese that he needed help for a pornography addiction. The report said LeBlanc had gone to a recovery center in Pennsylvania for priests with behavioral issues.

A message left with LeBlanc's attorney was not immediately returned.
