At the end of a service in the US city of Warsaw, Indiana last Sunday (22/05), Reverend John Lowe II said he had a confession to make: “I committed adultery”.
The pastor at New Life Christian Church and World Outreach Congregation, who has been married for 45 years, said he had “sinned” a case that lasted “too long”, which happened “20 years ago”. He announced that he was stepping down from his duties.
At the end of his speech, Lowe, 65, was applauded by his followers after confessing his infidelity.
Shortly after, a woman, who was not identified, came on stage and said that she wanted to tell her own version of the story.
This happened not “20 years ago” but “27 years ago”, he said. She also revealed that she was 16 when the incident happened.
He said, “I was 16 when you took my virginity on your office floor. Do you remember that? I know I do.”
