Disgraced “sex slave” priest Peter Miqueli — accused of embezzling $1 million from his Bronx parish to pay for kinky sessions with his S&M “master” — was found dead at his New Jersey home Thursday, police confirmed to The Post.
Brick Township police said Miqueli, 57, died at his home there but declined to provide further detail, saying the Ocean County Medical Examiner’s office is handling the case.
Miqueli resigned as pastor of St. Frances de Chantal parish in Throggs Neck in 2015 amid allegations that he swiped the cash to fund his S&M sessions with his beefcake “master” Keith Crist.
The sordid accusations were made in a civil lawsuit brought by parishioners, who also claimed Crist would “force Father Maqueli to drink Keith Crist’s urine.”
They claimed Miqueli blew $60,000 of the stolen funds on “illicit and prescription drugs.” He also allegedly used the cash to buy his home in Brick and to pay for rent on his “master’s” East Harlem apartment.
OCME couldn’t immediately be reached. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office referred questions to local police.
