TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – A police report says a prominent pastor was forced to run out of a house naked after a woman’s husband came home to find him having sex with his wife.

The husband found her in bed with Pastor O. Jermaine Simmons in the middle of the afternoon on Jan. 17, police documents show, according to The Tallahassee Democrat. The woman told police that her husband yelled that he was going to kill Simmons, who fled the apartment naked and hid behind a nearby fence.

The husband took the pastor’s clothes, wallet and car keys and later agreed to return the items following negotiations with police.

Video posted online shows Simmons asking for forgiveness from his congregation at Tallahassee’s Jacob Chapel, saying “you cannot defend sin.”
