5/4/17 – TG: Tony Alamo dies in prison. Cult leader was serving 175 years for bringing girls across state lines for sex
UPDATE: Since this site was first opened in 2006 many of the reasons for its existence have been accomplished. Its main purpose was to help stop Bernie Lazar Hoffman, aka Tony Alamo, from raping, beating, and psychologically abusing the young children whose parents are members of his cult. That has been accomplished; Tony Alamo was convicted in July 2009 of 10 Federal Counts of taking underage girls across state lines for sex and he is now serving 175 years in a federal penitentiary.
We also want to dispense information which may help former members in their recovery. Last but not least, we hope to enlighten current members to the reality of the crimes they are supporting through their participation in this organization.
