(1988) ABC news coverage of Jimmy Swaggart's confession regarding from the pulpit in 1988.
Then, three years later on October 11, 1991, Mr. Swaggart was alleged to be found in the company of a prostitute for a second time. He was pulled over by a police officer in Indio, California, for driving on the wrong side of the road. With him in the vehicle was a woman named Rosemary Garcia. According to Garcia, Mr. Swaggart had stopped to propose sex to her on the side of the road. She later told reporters: "He asked me for sex. I mean, that's why he stopped me. That's what I do. I'm a prostitute." This time, rather than confessing of his sins to his congregation, Mr. Swaggart told those at Family Worship Center, "The Lord told me it's flat none of your business."[ Swaggart's son Donnie then announced to the audience that his father would be temporarily stepping down as head of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries for "a time of healing and counseling".[28]
