EXCLUSIVE: ANTI-GAY GOSPEL ICON ACCUSED OF SICKENING, DECADE-LONG SEXUAL ABUSE OF VULNERABLE MALE ASSISTANT in a scandal that SHATTERS the facade of holy deliverance. Grammy-winner Donnie McClurkin, a fierce public crusader against homosexuality, now stands accused of orchestrating a BRUTAL, years-long campaign of rape and manipulation against a young man who came to him seeking spiritual guidance.
The lawsuit, filed in New York, paints a HORRIFYING picture of PREDATORY hypocrisy. The accuser, Giuseppe Corletto, alleges McClurkin used “pray the gay away” sessions as a cover to GROPE him, staged twisted “tests from God” involving other men, and repeatedly RAPED him over more than a decade. In a damning alleged email, McClurkin himself confesses to being a “desperate dirty ‘old man'” who “forced” himself on Corletto.
Yet McClurkin’s lawyer calls the accusations “categorically false,” claiming they “grossly mischaracterize” their interactions. This defense is a STAGGERING insult to the alleged victim’s trauma, detailed in graphic accounts from hotel rooms to the singer’s own church. The suit claims church staff were told but DID NOTHING, suggesting a conspiracy of silence protecting a powerful predator.
This is not just a crime; it is a SPIRITUAL BETRAYAL of the highest order. A man who built a empire preaching “deliverance” from same-sex attraction allegedly used that very doctrine as a WEAPON to groom, assault, and psychologically enslave a vulnerable follower. The holy roller was, according to these charges, a MONSTER in plain sight.
The world watches as the church’s toxic hypocrisy is laid bare, proving the loudest moral crusaders often hide the DARKEST sins. One must ask: how many other voices have been silenced by the gospel of shame?
