Former Stratford pastor accused of stealing from estate

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) A former Stratford pastor awaiting trial on accusations he fleeced a parishioner of most of her life savings has been charged with stealing more than $200,000 from a Trumbull man's estate.

Robert Genevicz was charged Monday with larceny and was released after posting $100,000 bond.

Police also arrested Doraine Reed, who charged with larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny and is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond. It wasn't known if she's represented by a lawyer who would comment.

Police said the couple took out loans in the name of Arthur Devack, who was then 88 and has since died.

The Connecticut Post reports that Genevicz declined comment Monday.

Genevicz is awaiting trial on a charge of larceny on accusations he bilked a 71-year-old retired Stratford school teacher out of more than $173,000.
