Father Francis

Father Francis (real name Nathan Harker) was a conman pretending to be a priest, who Carmel Valentine met in July 2011. Carmel struggled with her attraction towards Father Francis, attempting to restrain herself due to her religious commitments. Carmel's employer Cindy Longford continued to push her as Father Francis had booked a massage at Cinergy, which required him to be naked.
With Father Francis needing money, Carmel attempted to impress him by raising money for him through a sponsored "dancercise". Father Francis comforted Carmel when she lost confidence over presenting the "dancercise". She later devised a risqué calendar as a fundraiser, for which Father Francis posed naked for. Father Francis later told Carmel, who had secretly fallen for him, that he was in love with her. However, the next day, Father Francis slept with an upset Cindy after she vented to him.
Father Francis later told Carmel that he was leaving for Uganda, to which she decided that she was going to join him. She later walked in on Father Francis kissing Cindy, to which he revealed to her that he was actually a conman and asked her to flee with him. She agreed, but Cindy also learned of the con and had "Father Francis" arrested.
