A Florida pastor who wrote an advice book on how to love your spouse was arrested this week for allegedly having multiple wives.
Leslie Williams, 62, was arrested Wednesday on an outstanding warrant for bigamy near his house in rumored swingers’ paradise, The Villages retirement community, according to the Sumter County Sheriff Department and the Villages News.
The pastor, who runs his own ministry out of the sprawling 55+ community, is wanted in Georgia after the Rockland County Sheriff’s Department there issued a warrant for his arrest on bigamy charges on April 3.
Williams was nabbed by Sumter County sheriff deputies and is being held without bond at the Sumter County Detention Center, while awaiting extradition to Georgia.
While details of Williams’ first marriage remain unclear, he shared on Facebook in December that he got married to a woman named Cindi in a post that garnered a plethora of comments congratulating the bride and groom.
“Wow I thought you were already married. Congratulations!!” one comment on the post said.
“Love is in the air! Mr. and Mrs. Williams!” said another.
Days later, the pastor praised his new wife in another post and said, “Thanks for all the wonderful comments referencing my saved, beautiful and talented wife, Mrs. Williams! She’s saved for real, praise God!!!”
Williams also posted a selfie that same week which received a comment saying he looks “like a different man.”

Did he change the title to How to Love your Spouses?
Well at least they were not serial spouses and he married them all at once. Multiple serial spouses reminds me of that seventies Jack Nicholson flick Carnal Knowledge in which he made a home movie he would show his friends featuring all his ex wives he titled “Ballbusters on Parade”.
“Hey, I had to do research!”
The only men under the rule of one wife are church leaders, and him claiming to be a church leader, violated the rule that applies to him.
Then he should know!
LOL - how does one become an “expert” anyway? Practice, practice...
That isn't of any legal relevance. Am also not sure that it is of any moral relevance.
Would at most be a logistical consideration.
