	Fallen Pastor Faces New Gay-sex Allegation By Associated Press, carried on Live 5 News January 23, 2009 http://www.live5news.com/Global/story.asp?S=9725716 DENVER (AP) - Fallen preacher Ted Haggard has run into another bump on the road to restoring his public image. Two years ago, the 52-year-old Haggard lost his job as pastor of a Colorado megachurch and his position as an evangelical leader after a male prostitute claimed to have had a long-term relationship with him. Now, Haggard's ex-church, the 10,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs, says a young church volunteer also reports he had a sexual relationship with Haggard. Haggard's story is the subject of an HBO documentary that premieres next week and he's scheduled appearances with Larry King and Oprah Winfrey. Brady Boyd, New Life's new pastor, tells The Associated Press, the church reached a settlement with the young man, paying for college and counseling. Boyd insists it wasn't hush money, but "compassionate assistance." Boyd says the church went public after the young man decided to give a TV interview.
