Former New Life Church pastor Ted Haggard has asked for donations [story below] to help support his family and suggested that they be sent to a nonprofit whose leader has been convicted of sex crimes.
Haggard was fired from the Colorado Springs church after he admitted to "sexual immorality" in November. He made the admission after a gay Denver escort said Haggard paid him for sex for more than three years.
In a letter [copy of letter is below] sent last week to KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs, Haggard said that both he and his wife, Gayle, are enrolled at the University of Phoenix, and "it looks as though it will take two years for us to have adequate earning power again, so we are looking for people who will help us monthly for two years."
Haggard suggested money be sent to his family in Arizona or to Families With A Mission, a nonprofit listed as a charitable organization in good standing with the state of Hawaii. The nonprofit was dissolved in Colorado in February 2007, according to the Colorado secretary of state's office.
"Our non-profit organization never authorized a mass public appeal for donations for the Haggard family, nor were we even aware of it until published by the media," Paul Huberty said in an e-mail to The Denver Post. "Not one donation has been solicited by our non-profit organization designated to or supporting the Haggard family - and our organization has not sent any solicited financial support to Pastor Haggard."
Huberty, who was convicted in Hawaii of attempted sexual assault, is listed in that state as a registered sex offender who has moved. He lists his new address in Monument - the same address listed in the Colorado secretary of state's office for Families With a Mission. [Don’t you love this… the guy in charge of the non-profit is a sexual predator… for the ex-minister from the sexual scandal? You would think they were Catholic!]
Federal records show Huberty was convicted by a panel of Air Force officers in 1996 of consensual sodomy, fondling his genitals in a public area, indecent acts and adultery. He was a lieutenant colonel at the time. [He must be a rebublican!]
Huberty was not listed on the El Paso County Sheriff's Office website as a registered sex offender in Colorado.
In the e-mail, he said: "My past record from years ago is documented and has nothing to do with Pastor Haggard or with this non-profit organization that seeks to help people in need."
Haggard, who has made $338,000 since the start of 2006, could not be reached for comment.
