Evangelist Tony Alamo (AKA Bernie LaZar Hoffman, Marcus Abad, Mark Hoffman) is going to prison – again. On Friday, a federal jury convicted him of ten counts of transporting young girls across state lines for sexual purposes. The maximum penalty for his conviction is 175 years.

I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Christhiaon Coie. My Mother was Susan Alamo, the actual founder of the Tony and Susan Alamo Christian Foundation. Some of my earliest memories and things that my late brother Charlie told me are of Momma leaving him, a teenage boy, to care for me. With no food, milk, or cash and with landlords banging on doors for their rent, Charlie couldn’t stand it any more and ran away and joined the Navy.
From that day on it was Momma and me. One day my Mother would drag me to a church. I would sing and she would preach and we would leave with a LOVE offering. When the unmarked cans would be almost gone and the beer supply would dwindle the beatings would escalate; some so bad that school was out of the question. She finally took me out of school in the eighth grade.
