Pastor known for marriage advice arrested at rumored swingers community accused of having multiple wives

A pastor who runs a ministry in a rumored swingers community for Florida seniors — and ironically wrote a book on how to love your spouse — was arrested Wednesday following allegations that he married multiple women.

Leslie Williams, 62, was taken into custody at the sprawling retirement center, The Villages, on an outstanding warrant out of Georgia tied to a bigamy charge, according to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office in Florida.

He is currently being held without bond due to his status as an out-of-state fugitive, with legal holds stemming from Rockdale County, Georgia.

"Florida marriage records were obtained and confirmed that Leslie Williams was still lawfully married at the time of the subsequent marriage," the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office told Fox News Digital. "Based on these records, a warrant was obtained for Leslie Williams for the charge of bigamy."

Concerns were first raised when a complainant reported the alleged bigamy to the Haines City Police Department in Florida, officials said. The case was later transferred to Georgia after records showed Williams’ previous marriage had been certified in Rockdale County.

I guess this guy thought he was the pastor at the "Church of What's Happening Now."

This definitely qualifies as a "Florida Man" story.

Is having a ho on the side a sin if you married her too?
