Florida Pastor Leslie Williams Faces Bigamy Charge Amid Marriage Advice Book Controversy
Leslie Williams, a Florida pastor known for his marriage advice, has been arrested on charges of bigamy. Authorities allege that Williams married multiple women, with records indicating he was still legally married when he entered into another marriage. The case originated from a complaint filed with the Haines City Police Department in Florida and was later transferred to Georgia, where bigamy is a felony punishable by up to ten years in prison. Williams is currently held without bond at the Sumter County Detention Center in Florida, awaiting extradition to Georgia. The arrest has drawn significant attention due to Williams' previous publication of a marriage advice book in 2017, which promoted biblical commitment and lasting relationships.
