They attended Mass weekly. His three sons attended The Heights School in Potomac, Maryland, an all-boys Preparatory School.[23] His daughters attended Oakcrest School for Girls, also a Catholic school associated with Opus Dei. His wife, Bonnie, taught religion there.<br> A priest at the parochial school which Hanssen's children attended said that Hanssen had regularly attended a 6:30 a.m. daily Mass for more than a decade.[24] Father C. John McCloskey III said Hanssen also occasionally attended the daily noontime Mass at the Catholic Information Center in downtown Washington, D.C.<br> However, there was a second side to Hanssen's private life. Unbeknownst to his wife, he secretly videotaped them in sexual acts and shared the videotapes with a friend. He also explicitly described their sex life on Internet chat rooms, giving information sufficient for those who knew them to recognize the couple.<br> Hanssen fraternized with a Washington D.C. stripper named Priscilla Sue Galey. The stripper went to Hong Kong with Hanssen on a trip; he gave her money, jewels and a used Mercedes, but cut off contact with her prior to his arrest. Galey states the relationship was strictly platonic and that he was trying to help her get closer to God."
