Michigan Megachurch Pastor Arrested After Putting Hidden Camera in Church Bathroom
2|42 Community Church members were in shock after discovering that their much loved Worship Pastor Director, Will Johnson, was arrested and fired over the weekend for allegedly being a super perverted peeping tom and placing a hidden camera in the church bathroom.
In a letter sent to members by the Michigan-area megachurch, which has seven locations across the state, they share that after discovering the hidden camera “inside a non-public unisex bathroom” in the backstage area of their Brighton campus, which people of all ages would have used, Johnson, who has a wife and a young daughter, confessed and was immediately terminated.
“Church leadership quickly notified the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, who arrested Will Johnson last night. At this time, we are not aware of the full scope of this crime, but we are fully cooperating with the ongoing investigation.”
The church writes that they are “shocked and deeply saddened by this situation as the protection, safety and privacy of every person who enters our church is our priority” and that their commitment is to be “fully transparent and care for all victims of this crime.”
During yesterday’s service, which was not live-streamed but made available later, the elder team shared with the church the details of the incident, noted that they hired a third party to sweep all their campuses for other electronic devices, brought on mental health professionals and counselors for congregants to talk to after the service, and offered prayers for Johnson, that he might be saved, and Johnson’s family, that they would know they are loved and would be cared for.
