Jones: Haggard had inappropriate relationships with several New Life members

The gay prostitute who had a sexual relationship with New Life Church founder Ted Haggard has posted a video on YouTube saying several male church members contacted him to tell him that the pastor had inappropriate relations with them before he resigned in 2006.

Mike Jones, whose revelations led to Haggard's dismissal from the church, said he made the video to express his anger at New Life Church - both for failing to help the men, and for refusing to meet with him. Jones said he contacted Brady Boyd, New Life's senior pastor since August 2007, about Haggard's alleged relationships.

"I wanted to talk to him about the other young men that were coming to me with their stories. This was serious. And you know, Boyd refused to meet with me," said Jones, whose video comes on the heels of a report last week that Haggard had an inappropriate relationship with a male church volunteer.

Boyd did not return phone calls Monday, but in an e-mail to congregants sent on Friday, he said the church did receive reports of "a number of incidents of inappropriate behavior."

"In each case, we have tried our very best to do the right thing, including disciplinary action when appropriate," Boyd wrote. "We renew our invitation today for anyone who believes he or she has been hurt to please come forward."

Jones says in his video that when he broke the news about Haggard in 2006, "I knew that there were others, others that I could not publicly out. They had to do it themselves. But they were scared."

And he implies that some of the males involved with Haggard were young.

"Some of their parents knew about what was going on at the church, and some of the parents just wanted to turn a blind eye to it," Jones says.

He rails against the church for not disclosing that Haggard might have had inappropriate relationships with other men, because he felt he was taking the brunt of criticism.

"For over two years, I have suffered being all alone out there, taking all the heat for all that's going on," he says, nearly in tears. "For all this time, they knew there were others.

And they paid hush money to this man to be quiet, when they could have admitted it, that there were others right at that moment.

"And that would have helped me out so much, instead of putting me out there to face it all on my own."

The church, he says, owes him an apology.

In February 2007, the four-man board assigned to oversee Haggard's restoration after he was fired from New Life declared that Haggard's gay relations appeared to be limited to Jones, and noted that no one else had come forward.
