Her day to day dealings there brought her in close and frequent contact with the ministry’s major players and gave her rare, behind the scene glimpses of a ministry with far too many secrets.

Murphree said she thought she was about to be arrested. Mishel McCumber is a writer/researcher who worked as Webmaster for Jimmy Swaggart Ministries from 2008 to 2011. On the day Swaggart was photographed leaving a by-the-hour motel with Murphree, she said she saw 'the cop' (Randy Gorman) running to another room. Gorman is the preacher who reportedly hired a detective to photograph Swaggart in the company of Murphree last October. It was Swaggart who revealed that Gorman had committed adultery on at least one occasion. Marvin Gorman, like Swaggart, was an Assemblies of God minister defrocked in a sex scandal. Murphree claims that at the time she was seeing Swaggart she also was seeing a police officer, who, she identified as Randy Gorman, the son of defrocked minister Marvin Gorman. 'He would call and try to get me to get him off over the phone. 'God, what a freak! Kinky! Here he is up there preaching for all this money and when I see him, he's kinky and cheap too.

Swaggart paid her $30 to $40 for each encounter, sometimes asking her to perform oral sex on him, Murphree said. He also asked her to invite other prostitutes to their meetings, Murphree said. I said, 'No, I'm not going to take my pants off in the car.'' 'He'd always try to talk me into pulling my pants off and facing him sideways with legs spread.

Once he asked me to hop out naked in broad daylight in front of strangers so he could see the shock on their faces,' Murphree said. 'He asked me to unbutton my blouse and unzip my pants in the car while he drove around. Murphree, who pleaded guilty last week to a charge of prostitution, said Swaggart asked her to perform obscene acts while he masturbated. Many of 20 meetings occurred after he picked her up in his Lincoln Town Car in the New Orleans suburb of Metairie near a strip of seedy motels, she said. Murphree says Swaggart told her that his name was 'Billy.' She said the minister told her that he had been told on several occasions that he resembled Swaggart.
