LOWELL — The Rev. Monsignor Arthur M. Coyle, a Merrimack Valley official with the Archdiocese of Boston, was arrested for sexual conduct for pay in Lowell Sunday afternoon.
Coyle was allegedly arrested with a prostitute behind the Polish Cemetery on Boston Road. As his arraignment in Lowell District Court Monday morning, Coyle was given a court-appointed lawyer. He plead non-guilty and was ordered to return to court on Sept. 16. He was released on personal recognizance.
Coyle, the episcopal vicar for the archdiocese, lives at the rectory at St. Rita’s on Mammoth Road. The 62-year-old was arrested at 5:45 p.m. and bailed out, according to an arrest log.
