A pastor from San Juan, Puerto Rico, who used to dabble in gay porn, and who "renounced" his homosexuality, is refusing to resign his position after his X-rated past was recently revealed, according to the British newspaper the Mirror.

Pastor Jose Santiago's gay porn clips have reportedly been viewed by thousands of people in Puerto Rico after they were posted to social media networking websites. In one video, Santiago, 33, who allegedly went under the stage name Gustavo Arrango, is "seen pleasuring himself while he speaks to another man using Skype," the Mirror writes.

Santiago, who is married to a woman and is pastor at House of Prayer Monte Santo, told local media he stopped doing gay porn and is no longer gay after he found God seven years ago.

"In those days I was gay and participated in homosexual activities, but God touched me, God transformed me, God gave me a woman who loves me and she loves my past," he said, according to the Mirror. "I haven't seen any of these films in years. I don't receive any money for them and it's part of a life that is over."

Santiago reportedly added that his porn past was exposed in order to discredit his church. He added he will not step down from his position.

"We have all done things we regret. That part of my life was before I knew God," he said.
