Black clergyman admits to threesome with his wife and and a male church assistant

A pastor who said Facebook was a 'portal to infidelity' has admitted to having threesome sex with his wife and a male church assistant. The Rev. Cedric Miller's secret past was exposed after he ordered church leaders to delete their Facebook accounts or resign. He blamed the social networking website for causing married couples to have illicit affairs and igniting 'old passions'. The 48-year-old African-American leader of the Living Word Christian Fellowship Church in Neptune, New Jersey, confirmed the sex games he played with his wife Kim after his testimony in a court case was revealed. The liaisons often took place at his home during Thursday Bible study meetings and Sundays after church. 'It has come to my attention that a very painful part of my past has resurfaced,' Miller wrote in an e-mail. Miller described the sexual relationship in his evidence at the 2003 criminal trial of his assistant which was eventually dismissed. Miller said his wife had an extramarital affair with a church assistant and that he was present at many of their meetings. And sometimes the assistant's wife was there too, he claimed. Pressed by a defence lawyer to give more detail Miller added: 'We had crossed the line many times, I mean between the four of us. It was just, I mean there was touching, there was … it was crazy, it was as wrong as wrong could get. Yes.' The lawyer asked: 'Okay, it was sex, correct?' 'Yes,'' Miller said. But the minister said the encounters 'came to a crashing halt' when several women in the church accused the assistant of having sex with them. The names of the assistant and his wife were not disclosed, and Miller said that he was concerned that revisiting the incident would 'irreparably' hurt some people. The pastor sparked controversy when he ordered about 50 married church officials to delete their Facebook accounts or quit their leadership positions. He had previously asked married worshippers to share their login information with their spouses - as he does - and said he would leave the site.
