Evangelist Tony Alamo Convicted of Taking Minors Across State Lines for Sex

An evangelist was convicted Friday of taking minors across state lines for sex. A jury in Arkansas found Tony Alamo guilty of all 10 federal counts against him.

Alamo, 74, was arrested in September after a complaint was filed last year. He was accused of transporting 5 girls younger than 18 across state lines for sex between March 1994 and October 2005. The complaint included accounts from 3 of the 5 victims. All 3 say they were sexually abused by Alamo.  

Alamo, whose real name is Bernie Hoffman, is the founder and leader of Tony Alamo Christian Ministries. His 15-acre compound near Texarkana, Arkansas was raided as a part of the investigation. Alamo also has compounds in Oklahoma and New Jersey.

Alamo will be sentenced at a later date. Each count holds a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
