Jeremy Grinnell, a former pastor and theology professer, has pleaded guilty to spying on a couple while they were having sex.

A defrocked Michigan pastor has made a courtroom confession.

Jeremy Grinnell, 42, pleaded guilty May 13 to being a Peeping Tom in Kent County Circuit Court.

He had propped a ladder against a Grand Rapids home in November and climbed up to watch a female couple having sex in their bedroom.

He was discovered peering in the window and told one woman he was praying for her.

The next night, he decided to do it again. This time, he was arrested by police.

Grinnell, who is married, was a professor at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary, which is a division of Cornerstone University, a private Christian college. He also was a teaching pastor at Bella Vista Church in Rockford, Mich.
