The leader of a small Dallas church will spend the next 35 years behind bars for stealing real estate from three other churches.
According to the Dallas County District Attorney's Office, 56-year-old Whitney Foster is the pastor of a small congregation with no physical place to gather.He was found guilty of property theft after filing fraudulent deeds for First Christian Church of Lancaster, Canada Drive Church in Dallas, and Church at Nineveh in Dallas.Prosecutors said Foster listed fake leaders for the three churches as the grantors and named his own church as the grantee.
"When someone steals property, we must hold them accountable because they are hurting people."During the punishment phase of the trial, prosecutors presented evidence of seven more fraudulent deeds. Foster also has prior convictions for identity theft and arson."Deed fraud cases are not simply disputes; they are lies and fraud – they are theft – and they are deeply damaging.
