Goffstown man charged with larceny
Police say thousands stolen from Catholic School

WOBURN, MA -- The former chief financial officer of a Massachusetts Catholic school has been indicted on charges of stealing more than $80,000 from the school.

The Middlesex district attorney's office announced Thursday that Brian Dalphonse of Goffstown is facing charges of larceny and false entry into corporate books.

Prosecutors say that from 2006 to 2008 while CFO at St. John's Preparatory School in Danvers, the 41-year-old Dalphonse wrote checks from school accounts to pay for vehicles and used a school credit card to buy a home theater system and other merchandise not authorized by the school or used for school purposes.

Dalphonse's attorney William Christie called the charges "unfortunate" said his client denies any criminal activity. Christie said he is seeking the results of a school audit and plans to respond.

Dalphonse is to be arraigned April 14.
