DENVER - A gay man and admitted male escort claims he has had an ongoing sexual relationship with a well-known Evangelical pastor from Colorado Springs.
Mike Jones told 9 Wants to Know Investigative Reporter Paula Woodward he has had a "sexual business" relationship with Pastor Ted Haggard for the past three years.
Haggard is the founder and senior leader of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs. The church has 14,000 members.
He is also president of the National Association of Evangelicals, an organization that represents millions of people.
Haggard is married with five children and an outspoken critic of gay marriage.
Jones broke his silence Wednesday morning on talk radio.
In an exclusive interview Wednesday night, Haggard denied the claims and told 9NEWS he is prepared for his own church to investigate them.
"I did not have a homosexual relationship with a man in Denver," said Haggard. "I am steady with my wife. I'm faithful to my wife."
"I don't know if this is election year politics or if this has to do with the marriage amendment or what it is, but I'm not even the guy who will investigate it or question it. I don't know what the dynamics are, but this independent group will come in and do that."
Jones started talking to 9 Wants to Know two months ago. He claims Haggard has been paying him for sex over the past three years, even though Haggard preaches that homosexuality is a sin.
Jones also claims Haggard used methamphetamine in his presence on several occasions.
"People may look at me and think what I've done is immoral, but I think I had to do the moral thing in my mind and that is expose someone who is preaching one thing and doing the opposite behind everybody's back," said Jones.
Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw profiled Haggard in 2005 in a series on mega-churches. Haggard was also listed by Time magazine as one of the 25 most influential Evangelicals in America last year.

Is it strange that I think Ted Haggard's a little bit handsome?
And I mean "just a little bit".
he as paying to do or be done by that? seriously? on that issue alone i really hope this turns out to be false...for his sake. i mean it's one thing to be a complete hypocrite, it's another to have absolutely no taste. is it just a bad picture?

See - even straight guys can see "unfuc*able" potential a mile away.
Gives new meaning to you get what you pay for.
wait, so its ok to specualte on the sexuality of the preacher of a megachurch but neil patrick harris is off limits?
oh great, liverpool, just go ahead and incur the wrath of he who shall be nailed in the keister nightly by half a dozen chorus boys, why don't ya?
Exactly, Liverpool, so please leave that out of this thead or you'll get this deleted too.
Papa--how about Jeff Gannon, aka "Bulldog" (hmmm...could that be why Jose chose that name?), the gay male prostitute hired by the White House for so many LONG, late nights--do you find him more attractive and therefore more believable?
hey, between the two, ya gotta give it to gannon. he's no prize, but c'mon, look at that guy.
and do you have proof of your allegation that gannon was hired by the whitehouse as a prostitute, or is that just your overactive fantasy life projecting itself again?
you seem to have an awful lotta pictures of jeffy. is there something you're not telling us, pj?

Are you asking for reciepts papa?
Are all gay prostitues as unattractive as the two pictured in this thread; and, are they all incapable of keeping their tricks identity a secret?
yes and yes, jb2. and yes, you probably should be worried.
that'd work, cheeze.

we need a secret film crew to infiltrate and expose the truth here.
JohnBoy--male prostitutes are usually chosen for reasons OTHER than a pretty face. (Think. Do I HAVE to spell it out?)
And Papa--I know lots of juicy stuff about Jeff's clients.
DO you, PJ????
Well, I say, let the juice DRIP!
AW, Ted has an awfully nice mouth....now, SQUEAL like a pig Teddy boy......

What I don't get is why he was going all the way to Denver with the Air Force Academy right there. And thanks to our lovely governmental position on things, those boys would have to keep their mouths shut (well, obviously not ALL the time!)
papa - I was thinking the exact same thing. Perhaps the supply in Denver can't keep up with the demand, which would lower the expectations of the consumer base. It's like trying to find good enchiladas in Pennsylvania.

Mike Jones looks, well, haggard. And Ted Haggard looks, well, gay.
yes and yes, jb2. and yes, you probably should be worried
But you promised, papa, you promised!
Matt,
Ever look on craigslist/denver? There are some hot boys in the Mile High City.
As for Haggard, was he featured in JESUS CAMP? I seem to remember someone who was a preacher looking just like him and being seven kinds of friendly with a 12-year-old boy with a rat's tail.
robbiej - OK, the fact that you know the appearance of rent boys in the Denver area is quite amusing. Do you shop all the major metro areas? Or just those of high altitudes and mountainous topography?

Heh - heh - he said topography.

considering from the article I read on World Net Daily about Ted Haggert, I feel that it's just a way to ruin his image considering he doesn't agree with homosexual marriages. When you don't go by 'the ways of the world', people (general speaking) mock you, but when you do, people say nothing.
