Tony Alamo Found GUILTY!

Tony Alamo was found guilty on charges he took underage girls across state lines for sex. Arrested last September,he was found guilty in the state of Arkansas on 10 counts and will be sentenced in the next eight weeks. Tony Alamo is a notorious preacher with a long history of questionable behavior. He has led a cult like compound where he dictated how his followers lived, had sex with minors, and has even served time for tax evasion. He is known by his former followers as someone who controlled those around him and took many brides, most of them underage and some as young as eight or nine. Not only did this account for years of sexual assault and abuse among his female followers, but he was mentally and emotionally abusive to everyone within his compound. He even separated family members from each other on a regular basis. Because of lack of physical evidence, prosecutors relied on the testimonies of numerous women who were "wives" and victims of his abuse. Thankfully, those testimonies convinced a jury that Alamo had indeed broken the law. Alamo is facing up to ten years in prison for each count as well as millions in fines. If he is sentenced as he should be, Alamo will live out the rest of his days in prison. This is the kind of person who preys on others and should never set foot outside a correctional facility. Known for his erractic behavior, even in the courtroom, he is still trying to tell his "followers" what to do, and that he is "stil in charge!" during phone conversations. Let's see how well he does when he no longer gets to call the shots.
