It seems Greenville, SC Pastor John Gray just got passed one extramarital affair that he admits was an "emotional affair". That happened last year, and now word of a second alleged affair is swirling.

Gray's attorneys say a woman who goes by the name of "Mary", claims she's been communicating with Gray over the phone. And that the two have not had any physical contact, just phone calls only. The woman allegedly admits she and Gray have never met each other or saw each other.

Gray's attorney says "Mary" who is making the allegations is in Houston. That's also where Gray continues to serve as associate pastor for Joel Osteen's megachurch, Lakewood.

Attorneys believe the accusations made against Gray are an attempt to extort or blackmail the pastor. They plan to hand over any evidence to the Greenville County's Solicitor's Office as well as the FBI.

So far, Gray has declined to comment.

Gray came to Greenville, SC in 2018 to form Relentless Church after the former pastors (Ron and Hope Carpenter) moved their ministry to California.
