News about Johnny Hunt

Following an eight-month absence after the Southern Baptist Church's sexual harassment report, Pastor Johnny Hunt, 69, returned to preaching on Sunday. The investigation found truth in the allegations that he sexually assaulted a pastor's wife, who was 24 years older than him, during a beach vacation in 2010. According to the story, he kissed and hugged the woman's breast over her clothes and pulled down her pants before stopping and leaving. He was suspended from the Georgia church where he worked, but later said the experience was 'consensual.' He is now preaching at Hiland Park Baptist Church in Panama City, Florida, where he became a member in 2022. One of the four pastors deemed Hunt ready to return to ministry was the pastor at the church. Hunt was 'one of the finest pulpiteers in our time,' the pastor said.'
