Douglas Hahn is an American prelate who served as the seventh Episcopal Bishop of Lexington. He was elected on August 18, 2012, and consecrated on December 15, 2012, in Lexington, Kentucky. He served until March 9, 2016, when he was suspended for one year for lying during the bishop interview process about past adultery with a parishioner.[1] In October of that year, the Standing Committee of the diocese asked that Hahn resign as head of the diocese.[2] In December, Hahn agreed to resign as of the end of his suspension, on March 10, 2017.[3]
