Claiming that Hunt suffered “personal anguish and harm” at the hands of Guidepost Solutions and SBC leadership, his suit also says:
By focusing on the allegation against Pastor Johnny—an allegation by an adult woman that involved noncriminal conduct—and by then taking aggressive action against Pastor Johnny, the Defendants sought to create the appearance that the SBC has learned from its previous mistakes and is now working to protect victims of sex crimes…Defendants’ decision to feature the allegation against Pastor Johnny in their public report was a strategic decision to deflect attention from the SBC’s historical failure to take aggressive steps to respond to reports of child sex abuse and other sex crimes in its past.
In January, it was reported that Hunt was seeking more than $100 million in compensation. He claimed that he received an annual compensation of $610,000 from NAMB and had hoped to work for another 11 years. Hunt also claimed that the allegations against him cost him millions in potential books sales and future speaking fees.
For having to suffer “personal anguish and harm,” Hunt had been seeking a sum of $90 million.
