The prostitute who first exposed Evangelical minister Ted Haggard as a closeted homosexual and crystal meth user has responded to Haggard's claim that he has successfully completed three weeks of "ex-gay" counseling.
In response to Haggard's statement, Jones giggled and responded "Well, that's the quickest therapy I've ever heard of. It's hard for me to imagine someone who is performing oral sex and saying that he is 'straight.' That just doesn't jive." If you
were to ask me 'Do I think is Ted haggard gay?' I would have to say 'yes'," he added.
In response to one of Haggard's counselor's claims that Haggard's activities were not a "constant thing," Haggard explained that he could only speak to the time he spent with Jones and that had an ongoing sexual relationship with the minister and that their time together "indicated a gay man to me."
Jones shared that he had heard from two other individuals that claimed they had encounters with Haggard. Those accusers, Jones said, have chosen to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs.
