Ravi Zacharias, who died in May last year after a high-profile career leading a global Christian ministry, engaged in sexual misconduct with massage therapists and carried on many amorous extramarital relationships via text message and e-mail, according to a scathing, in-depth report from a law firm hired by the ministry.
Five of the therapists said Zacharias touched them inappropriately, and one said she was raped, the report by Atlanta-based Miller & Martin said.
Investigators searching Zacharias’ mobile devices found more than 200 photographs of younger women, including nude images of a salon employee in Malaysia, it said.

The board of Zacharias Trust in the U.K., which operates a theological training center, has decided to “make a clear separation” from Ravi Zacharias International Ministries and choose a new name, in response to the revelation that the late Christian apologist engaged in “sexting, unwanted touching, spiritual abuse, and rape” during his life.
“We are appalled by Ravi Zacharias’ abusive actions and their impact on the victims of his abuse,” the six members of the board said in a statement Friday, the day after the results of a monthslong independent investigation detailed serious allegations of sexual misconduct by Zacharias.
