I suspect it is a ploy to get his profitable position in the church back. They made him leave Colorado and he ended up in Arizona. Not sure why.
From what I read the male prostitute was not his first transgression. His wife was told of others. Have to admire her for sticking by him.
A crock but no more of a crock than others who have been found with female prostitutes, weep openly and keep their lucrative jobs.
