An ex-Connecticut priest who had been a top aide to Edward Cardinal Egan yesterday pleaded guilty to dealing nearly 4 pounds of crystal methamphetamine.

Monsignor Kevin Wallin, 61, of Waterbury, faces a likely 11 to 14 years in prison at sentencing in Hartford on June 25.

The cross-dressing Wallin was busted in January after selling meth to an undercover cop, and buying an adult-video and sex-toy shop in North Haven, apparently to launder drug money.
