A Florida pastor and author of a marriage advice book has been arrested on bigamy charges, raising questions about his personal life and teachings. Leslie Williams, who runs Leslie Williams Ministries, is being held without bond while awaiting extradition to Georgia. His arrest has sparked controversy, given his public role as a marriage counselor.
A Florida pastor known for his marriage advice book has found himself in legal trouble after being arrested on bigamy charges . Leslie Williams , who runs Leslie Williams Ministries out of a 55+ community in The Villages, was taken into custody by Sumter County sheriff deputies following a warrant issued by the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Department in Georgia.
The warrant, issued on April 3, accuses Williams of bigamy, though details about his first marriage remain unclear. Williams is currently being held without bond at the Sumter County Detention Center while awaiting extradition to Georgia. His arrest has shocked many, given his public persona as a marriage counselor and author of the book *Love Her Like This: Loving Her Has Never Been Deeper*, which offers guidance on fostering a strong, biblical marriage.
The book, released in 2017, addresses common marital issues and emphasizes the importance of a husband’s love for his wife. Williams describes himself as an apologist and teacher of the word of God, delivering messages he believes are relevant for the body of Christ. His ministry, which advertises services preparing believers for the end of time, operates out of a rented mailbox in a shopping center within The Villages. Despite his spiritual teachings, Williams’ personal life has come under scrutiny.
In December, he announced his marriage to a woman named Cindi on Facebook, receiving numerous congratulatory messages. He later praised his new wife in another post, writing, Thanks for all the wonderful comments referencing my saved, beautiful and talented wife, Mrs. Williams! She’s saved for real, praise God!!! Williams also shared a selfie, prompting a commenter to remark that he looked like a different man.
He responded, I am, my wife is an amazing woman, I feel the way I look! Thank you Sis!!! The contrast between his public image as a marriage expert and his alleged bigamy has drawn widespread attention. Authorities have not yet released further details about the charges or the extradition process.
Meanwhile, Williams’ ministry and social media presence continue to reflect his teachings on love and faith, even as his legal troubles unfold
