Paul Crouch vs. Enoch Lonnie Ford

Out closeted conservatives! Out closeted religious profiteers!
Paul Crouch, 70, president of the Trinity Broadcasting Network, reached a $425,000 settlement in 1998 with the former worker who threatened to sue over claims he had been unjustly fired from the network, the Los Angeles Times said.
Crouch later won a closed-door ruling against the employee, Enoch Lonnie Ford, 41, when he tried to violate a provision of the settlement that barred him from discussing the alleged encounter, the newspaper said.

Crouch, 70, is the president of Trinity Broadcasting Network, based in Orange County, whose Christian programming reaches millions of viewers around the world via satellite, cable and broadcast stations.
The source of the allegations against him is Enoch Lonnie Ford, who met Crouch at a TBN-affiliated drug treatment center in 1991 and later went to work for the ministry.
