According to the clip, Todd's backers knew about his "unhealthy relationship" with an intern even before the revival ended in August 2008.
If this is true, isn't that deception on the part of his backers?
I have heard that Todd Bentley will soon be back. This isn’t the only place that I have seen this said.

I knew something was wrong with this guy.
Bentley was raised mainly in Gibsons, British Columbia, a small community on the western coast of Canada. Bentley’s parents divorced while he was a child and he struggled with drug and alcohol addiction. He engaged in criminal gang activities which resulted in a 1991 conviction for sexually assaulting a seven-year-old British Columbia boy. Bentley credits his conversion to Jesus Christ for a change of lifestyle at 18. It was at this point that he began his Christian ministry.
Bentley announced his separation from his wife, Shonnah, in August 2008, and resigned from the Board of Fresh Fire. A statement released by the remaining Board members said ‘Todd Bentley has entered into an unhealthy relationship on an emotional level with a female member of his staff’, and that he will ‘refrain from all public ministry for a season to receive counsel in his personal life’.
for later
“5 For this reason I left you in Crete, that you might set in order what remains, and appoint elders in every city as I directed you, 6 namely, if any man be above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion. 7 For the overseer must be above reproach as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain, 8 but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled, 9 holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict.” (Titus 1:6-9)

Interesting blog. Bookmarked.
He came to Utica, NY, to a church there and his behaviour was so bizarre that my friend and I were really put off by him. I had a hard time reconciling myself to him and never could after that.
