>>994287 really— The Tribune report, released online March 22, included allegations of inappropriate conversations, extended hugs, an unwanted kiss and invitations to hotel rooms, along with the allegation of a consensual affair with a married woman who later said her claim was untrue.

One of the accusers, a one-time teaching pastor at the church, said Hybels gave her a long embrace and asked her personal questions during a trip to Spain in 1999, while another former employee accused him of putting his hands on her waist, caressing her stomach and kissing her in his hotel room during a trip to Sweden in 1998, according to the Tribune story.
