A judge sentenced Bishop Lamor Miller-Whitehead to nine years in prison Monday after his conviction on multiple charges.
He also was sentenced to three years of supervised release and ordered to pay $85,000 in restitution and ordered to forfeit $95,000.
Miller-Whitehead, known for his flashy lifestyle, was convicted in March of wire fraud, attempted extortion and lying to the FBI.
Prosecutors alleged Miller-Whitehead convinced a parishioner to invest $90,000 in savings with him and promising to help her buy a home. He then spent on luxury goods for himself, prosecutors said. He was also accused of trying to defraud and extort a businessman and of lying to FBI agents.
