Disgraced Pastor Johnny Hunt Tells His Side of the Story in Deposition, Offers His Own Definitions of ‘Adultery,’ ‘Sexual Abuse’

“I know some that committed adultery or it could be, just like with my case, false allegations. So I would be using false allegations,” he continued.

Nokes asked, “Well, you keep saying ‘false allegations,’ but you did, in fact, kiss another man’s wife, correct?”

“I have never kissed her lips in my life,” Hunt replied, referring to the woman who has accused him of sexual assault. “My lips have never touched her lips, so help me God.”

“My hand raised to God, my lips have never touched [her] lips, ever,” he reiterated.

Hunt, however, admitted that he “did awkwardly fondle her because she was coming on to me.” Later in the deposition, he also confessed to kissing her body, including her breasts. 

“I have never been questioned before is the reason I’m so excited about being here today. I have never been—had an opportunity,” Hunt continued. “And I will speak to all of the Guidepost report and how that came about. I have never been questioned.”

Speaking about the day in 2010 when it is alleged that he sexually assaulted the woman, Hunt claimed that the woman seduced him by inviting him to sit next to her on her balcony, which was adjacent to the balcony of his condo. 

“She continued to seduce,” Hunt said. “And so with what I would call temporary forgetfulness of God on my behalf—I take full responsibility—I went over and went to her balcony.”

Hunt alleged that after he met the woman on her balcony, she placed her feet on his knees and said, “I knew if I could get you to come over here, hopefully, you would ask to touch me because you are a perfect gentleman.”

Hunt said he then expressed that he felt uncomfortable on the balcony and the two went inside. Hunt said that he tried to leave but that the woman coaxed him into sitting on the couch. He then alleged that she exposed her breasts to him.
