The FBI is investigating sexual misconduct claims against Tennessee televangelist teacher Perry Stone, according to a report published in the Chattanooga Times Free Press. The allegations against Stone include "groping, unwanted kissing and showing women he was aroused."

At least seven people have spoken to the FBI regarding the allegations against the pro-Trump pastor. As the Times Free Press points out, "people connected or formerly connected to Stone's ministry" are starting to ask questions about the lack of accountability regarding the accusations due to the fact that they first surfaced over a year ago.

The publication noted that as Stone was recently confronted while giving a sermon at his church. Stone was speaking to his congregation about people who've walked away from the church when a woman stood up and spoke out.

"Probably because you keep touching them, you nasty perv," she yelled. "Why don't you tell them the real reason why they left? Because you kept touching them."

1. "But hey, I'm Italian"

On Nov. 30, after security removed the woman who interrupted him, Stone said the allegations against him were misinterpreted hugs and other things because he is Italian.

"I am not a perfect man," Stone said. "People have taken me hugging and kissing them on the cheek wrong. I quit that. I'm Italian. My whole family holds hands, rubs backs. I didn't know you can look at somebody and say, 'Hey, how you doing?' and they can take it wrong."

Stone then told the crowd that God has told him that the people who have accused him will have to answer for it when they die.

In April 2020, the all-male Voice of Evangelism board of directors each received copies of 11 letters, nine of which were from women either employed by or connected to the Stone's ministries, which include Voice of Evangelism, Omega Center International and the International School of the Word.

The letters — some of which were given to the Times Free Press and others described to a reporter — detailed allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Stone, including groping, showing that he was aroused while fully clothed and rubbing himself, asking women in his ministry about their breasts, kissing the women on the neck and lips, asking them to kiss him in similar ways, messaging them to send him pictures and asking them to massage him. At least one letter obtained by the Times Free Press said Stone would lock office doors to be alone with women.
