Pastor faces up to five years in prison for role in real estate scheme
January 10, 2006

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. --A Baptist pastor faces up to five years in prison
for his role in a real estate scheme that bilked $1.5 million from
lenders and home buyers, including some members of his congregation.

The Rev. Paul J. Starnes, 40, pleaded guilty Tuesday in U.S. District
Court to wire fraud and money laundering charges.

The leader of the Morning Star Church in Springfield is scheduled to
be sentenced on May 9. His lawyer, Peter Ettenberg, said he will ask
that Starnes be placed on probation. But Assistant U.S. Attorney
William Welch indicated he would push for Starnes to serve 51 to 63
months behind bars.

Welch said Starnes and two others were involved in a land-flip scheme
that involved buying depressed properties, paying off appraisers to
inflate their values, recruiting poor, first-time buyers and drafting
phony financial documents to obtain mortgages.

Welch said at least two of the approximately 20 home buyers who wound
up defaulting on their mortgages were members of Starnes'
congregation.

Starnes formerly owned Trinity Mortgage Brokerage Inc. and was a
partner in Trinity Land Co., which purchased and sold properties in
the Springfield area.

The two others charged in the case, David McCoy and Marc Brown, were
also brokers at the mortgage company, authorities have said.

McCoy is scheduled to stand trial next week, and Brown pleaded guilty
to his role in the scheme last month.

Ettenberg said Starnes is "glad this part of the process is behind
him."
