"KANNAPOLIS --Coy Privette, a retired Baptist pastor, conservative lawmaker
and outspoken advocate for Christian groups, was charged Thursday with paying a
prostitute for sex acts.
The 74-year-old Cabarrus County commissioner was arrested at his home in Kannapolis early Thursday. He appeared before a Rowan County magistrate on six misdemeanor charges and was released on a promise to appear in court Aug. 22. He did not return e-mails or calls to his cell and home phones, and no one answered the door at his Kannapolis home."
Ok, it is one thing to be of weak flesh and to give in to temptation. These kinds of crimes are a totally different level. I would expect any honest and decent leader to step down from their position after the first offense. If you think what you are doing is wrong, you should seek help before it comes to this point. By living in sin, and preaching at the same time the message against your sin, you undermine your message. While it is clear that it undermines it for those outside the faith, I think it also undermines the message for people inside the faith as well.
