The Rev. O. Jermaine Simmons Sr., who leads Jacob Chapel Baptist Church in Tallahassee, Florida, was caught in an adulterous affair with a married woman. 

The Tallahassee Police Department reported that Simmons, who is married with one son, was caught in bed by the woman's husband. The couple attend his popular church.

The husband, who came home after picking up the couple's son, threatened to kill the pastor and went to retrieve a small handgun. At that moment, the pastor fled the couple's home naked.

A few days later, Simmons said he already received God's forgiveness and was supported by his congregation to continue preaching. Today, he remains the pastor at Jacob Chapel.
