Grammy-Winning Gospel Singer Donnie McClurkin Accused of Sexual Abuse
A new lawsuit alleges that Grammy-winning gospel singer and pastor Donnie McClurkin sexually abused a young man, Giuseppe Corletto, over several years. Corletto, who sought out McClurkin for spiritual guidance after reading his book, claims the abuse began during “pray the gay away” sessions and escalated while he worked as McClurkin’s assistant. The lawsuit includes an email allegedly written by McClurkin admitting his actions. McClurkin’s attorney denies the allegations, stating they are “categorically false” and misrepresent the nature of their interactions.
