  • The dog walker claimed he heard Lentz and the star allegedly having sex at the pastor's apartment 

Carl Lentz's family dog walker has claimed that he caught the disgraced pastor on act getting intimate with a "young celebrity" years ago, a report says.

Lentz made headlines in November after he was fired from the Hillsong Church due to "leadership issues and breaches of trust, plus a recent revelation of moral failures." He later admitted to cheating on his wife of 17 years, Laura Lentz. However, their family dog walker, Lee Martin, has now alleged that the pastor also had an affair back in November 2014, long before his firing.

"They lived in a building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where I had the majority of my dog walking business," Martin told The Sun. "I walked into the house one day to walk their dog and I didn't see or hear any people in the apartment at first. So I took it that no one was there and went in and got their dog on a leash."

"And as I went to exit the apartment, I walked past the bedroom and I heard sex noises - it definitely sounded like two people were having sex," he claimed.

Martin noted that the noise had shocked him but added that it wasn't something new to him as he walks into similar incidents "quite a lot." However, at the time, he accidentally closed the door too loud, catching Lentz's attention.

"I knew that I wasn't supposed to be there because nobody would be making those kinds of noises if they knew someone was around. I knew that I wasn't supposed to be there because nobody would be making those kinds of noises if they knew someone was around. And so by the time I made it to the elevator, Carl and the star were right behind me," he told the outlet.

Martin said Lentz didn't look him in the eye, talk or even acknowledge him, which was apparently unusual. He also saw the woman he was with, and Martin noted that they both "seemed kind of flushed — like they had been having sex."

"I didn't see into the bedroom but I know what I heard and I believe what I heard was Carl and the celebrity having sex with each other," he claimed.

Though The Sun decided not to name the "celebrity," Martin claimed that there was a significant age gap between the 36-year-old pastor and the star.

Meanwhile, Lentz and his wife, Laura, are not giving up on their marriage despite the ex-Hillsong preacher's affair. The couple is reportedly now in intense therapy to rebuild trust and make their relationship work.
