I do think the fact that it's in the past by several years makes this a slightly unfair discussion. If his congregation knew about it and kept him as pastor anyway, or maybe he was reinstated after a time (I don't know), that's their decision.
I would be interested to know whether or not the congregation was aware of his past *mistake*, or if they found out when the media dug it up.

IMO, there are mistakes and there are MISTAKES. Even scripture states, "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body."
Though I don't think these people will "go to hell" for keeping this man as their pastor, there seems to be a high probability that his gross lack of judgment will at some point lead them there.
If I were in that church, I wouldn't be.
