Evangelist Haggard says he bought meth and paid for sex
Rev. Ted Haggard acknowledged buying methamphetamine and receiving a massage from a male prostitute after a Denver hotel referral. He insisted he did not have sex with the man and that he was tempted but did not use the drugs. Haggard resigned as head of the National Association of Evangelicals and stepped aside at New Life Church while investigations proceed. Mike Jones denied selling meth and claimed periodic payments for sex over three years. A lie detector test for Jones showed indications of deception.
