It's time to name and shame the self-proclaimed paragons of virtue. Keep it civil, though.

Stories are about those who have been placed in positions of trust, and then abused that trust.

Feel free to add stories of the self-righteous from other walks of life.

New rule: With regard to stories of particularly, but not only, female teachers sexually assaulting students. Any comments similar to "where were they when I was in school" will earn you the right to find another forum.

A Georgia man posing as a missionary is accused of "misdirecting" approximately $30m from Christian donors who believed they were buying Bibles for their Chinese brethren, according to prosecutors.

Jason Gerald Shenk allegedly used $1m from the scam to gamble in an online casino, buy diamonds, gold, and to pay the company running his family's farm, according to NBC News.

Mr Shenk, 45, raised the money from churches, charities, and individuals in Ohio and North Carolina. The donors were reportedly told the money would be used to purchase Bibles and other religious literature for ministries in China.
