	New Life Addresses Newschannel 13 Investigation By Tak Landrock KRDO January 26, 2009 http://www.krdo.com/Global/story.asp?S=9729019 COLORADO SPRINGS - Pastor Brady Boyd for the first time addressed his congregation at New Life Church to talk about new allegations uncovered by NEWSCHANNEL 13. He told the media, this would be the only time he would talk about the young man who claims former New Life Leader Ted Haggard sexually abused him. "A wound has been reopened," says Boyd. "While scandal and tragedy has been part of our past, it will not be our future." He told members who attended the 9 a.m. service that he has known about he victim who's come forward since he became senior pastor at New Life. "We gave him the counseling and help he needed in his life." He adds in 2007, the young man decided to sue the church. Boyd added that six-figure payout was insurance money, not tithing from members of the church. He spoke about doing the right thing even if it hurts. Boyd says he couldn't talk about the settlement, because he was a pastor and that would violate confidentiality. On NEWSCHANNEL 13 Monday night at 10 p.m., you will hear from the victim, who tells his side of the story and why he is going public. I have been speaking with him for almost two years about his story and his struggles to overcome what happened to him. As you will learn, it was not consensual and it has changed his life. He says this is not about "opening new wounds" it's about a much larger issue. Contact: t.landrock@krdo.com
