A former priest was arrested Tuesday for allegedly traveling from Pennsylvania to Nassau County to have sex with a teenage boy.

Seventy-two-year-old Thomas Bender, of Pennsylvania, was arrested when police say he arranged to take a 14-year-old boy to a Nassau hotel. Bender, who thought he was communicating with a teen on the Internet, was actually talking to undercover investigators. Police say Bender had communicated with undercover officers for two years.

Bender has been charged with five counts of disseminating indecent material to a minor and one count of an attempted criminal sexual act.
