Escort alleges 3 year relationship with Haggard

COSBY: And you failed a lied detector test this morning. Why do you think you failed? Why should we believe you?

JONES: Well, that's what interesting. I initiated the lie detector test and the questions they asked me were regarding sex -- nothing about drugs -- about sex. And that's why I don't understand why the test came back the way it did, because that is how he initially found out about me. It was for sex. I only advertise on gay Internet sites and gay newspapers.

COSBY: If Reverend Haggard is watching right now, what do you want to say to him?

JONES: You know, I want to tell him that I'm really sorry that he's in the position that he's in. You know, what this proves is we're all human. We all are sinners, but when you are in a position of authority and a role model for millions of people, you really need to practice what you preach.

And I hope that after this passes, he can continue for -- in the church, if that's what he chooses. And I wish the best for him, but I owe this to the gay community that has to put up with hypocrisy from the religious right because they want all the benefits in life but they don't want the gay community to have the same thing and it's simply wrong.

COSBY: You know, this could be criminal activity, hiring an escort. Are you planning to go to criminal authorities, my final question to you?

JONES: I am not.

COSBY: You won't. What if they ask for it? Will you hand over whatever you have?

JONES: Well, if I'm forced to, I guess I'll have to. But I don't want to pursue this any farther than what has transpired. I just think that the ball was truly in his court and I don't -- he needs to just quit dancing around it and just admit it and move on.

COSBY: Mike Jones, thank you very much for being with us. It was a very interesting interview. Thank you very much.

JONES: Thank you.
