A new, one-hour documentary, “Ted Haggard: Scandalous,” tells the story of the evangelical pastor who admitted to an affair with a male prostitute in 2006.
“Ted Haggard: Scandalous,” which airs Jan. 16 on TLC, follows Haggard, his wife, Gayle, and their five children as they launch a new church in Colorado Springs, Colo., where Haggard had been a pastor of mega New Life church and president of the National Association of Evangelicals. The family left Colorado Springs in 2006, after allegations that Haggard had paid a male prostitute for sex for three years and purchased crystal methamphetamine from him.
