An Arkansas judge has sentenced evangelist Tony Alamo to 175 years in prison Friday on charges that included taking minors across state lines for sex, according to media reports Saturday.
“Mr. Alamo, one day you will face a higher, a greater judge than me,” Judge Barnes said. “May he have mercy on your soul.”
The evangelist offered a brief statement to the court praising God, then adding, “I’m glad I’m me and not the deceived people in the world.”
One woman who Alamo took as a child bride at the age of eight, spoke out in court on Friday.
“You preyed on innocent children,” she said, staring down Mr. Alamo, who wore yellow prison scrubs and a windbreaker for the hearing.
“You have the audacity to ask for mercy,” she said. “What mercy did you show us?”
On July 24, 2009 Alamo was convicted in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, sitting in Texarkana, Arkansas, on 10 counts of Interstate Transportation of Minors for Illegal Sexual Purposes, Rape, Sexual Assault and Contributing to the Delinquency of Minors, according to Wikipedia.
Was justice served?
Evangelist Alamo Sentenced To 175 Years In Prison
how can anyone on earth question a messenger of god?
let him out of prison now or i will lick a rattlesnake’s mouth.
Hell YEAH justice was served. Now HE can be transported between BARS for sexual services!
I’ve never liked Alamo, who seems to preach Hate rather than Christ.
I’m pleased that he was sentenced to prison, but 175 years strikes me as extreme overkill. I’m afraid that might be enough to reverse his conviction on appeal.
When you think about what this individual did to the children I know that he will stand before God. If you compare 175 years confinment, to eternity, 175 years is a very short time. Our system of justice is the best system in the world. Sometimes a mistake is commited. But this time justice has been done right.
THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE THAT SUPPORTS HAROLD CAMPING ON FAMILY RADIO.COM THAT THE CHURCH AGE HAS ENDED AND GOD HAS ALLOWED SATAN TO GO INTO THE CHURCHES TO RULE AND DECIEVE, AS STATED IN THE BIBLE.
THE RAPTURE IS NEAR
When will we stop persecuting innocent Elvis impersonators?
as a woman,on behalf off all women who ave been raped or traded for sex its very hard at times&its a harsh topic to its victims as well as family of its victims.He wasnt a messenger sent by God,but more of a devil’s advocate from hell!!!JUSTICE WAS SERVE!
How can anyonbe in their right mind object to a child molester (who claims to be a preacher of the word of God) receive a lengthy sentence…in Arkansas, of all places. Good for them.
We’ve seen too many examples of religious people who set themselves up as someone holier than thou…and then go out and break the laws of man and God…in the name of God! Enough is enough…I remember the damage this fool did to people here in Los Angeles, Ca.. There is no excuse for the injury to and/or rape of children!
Scott surely you were kidding. He RAPED children.
WHHOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!! All perverts need to be in jail…forever…no chance of parole, except to hell.
Beware of any one that claims to come in the name of God. He does look like Elvis. Anyone who preys on children deserves to be severly punished. He still has the opportunity to truly turn his life over to God. There are many who have commited crimes, that I’m certain are in Heaven.
Anyone that would market a child or rape a child should be put to death.
Scott, I hope you are kidding…if not, please be a MAN to your words and go, please, go lick a rattlesnake mouth…with your “brainpower,” maybe you are able to get your “icon” out of prison, take him with you, while you are licking the mouth, he could be licking the ass of the rattlesnake…
On top of the 175 years, Castrate this imitation of a human.
Judge not, least yea be judged. Let him now preach to the unconverted and preverted and maybe the serious expectations of a Holy God will add some real meaning
to his life and save some folks in prison. A 200lb milstone must be real heavy around your neck as your thrown into the sea for abusing the little ones, but apparantly it’s still better than what’s to follow after meeting God face to face in the final judgment for your sins.
Let him rot, and forget him!!!
OK one pervert down, molesting children and for sure he will be gone long before the 175 years are up, so let’s say 10-20 years. I believe he was born in 1934 so he is 75 years old. I hope he lives to be 100 at least! Now what are the courts going to do about the catholic priests who have been molesting kids for YEARS? How many years are they serving???? The only consolation is that if there is a God, and he will judge them, man they are all going to be sorry…
This site must attract superstitious fools. Even the judge is a believer. I have news for you all. Get real. Jesus isn’t coming back. HE isn’t even going to call. He has been dead 2000 years. ONce we get peoples minds oriented to reality Life will be much better.
Ole O’Margarine, you just admitted yourself that Jesus DID live and was (gasp) real! So, Jesus DID say He would return, so are you calling Him a Liar?
175 years???? sorry, not long enough!!!
U retard. the fact that u don’t believe in something doesn’t change its existence. U don’t believe that Jesus is alive doesn’t change his living power by one iota. He is omnipotent and thus has power to lay down his life and pick it back up after three days. U better seek to know him b4 he comes back because whether u r ready or not or believe that he is or not, he is coming back. Prepare to meet him b4 it’s too late.
Hmmm. Lil’ ole”Margarine, I am afraid you severely contradicted yourself. You said Jesus died 2000 years ago meaning you BELIEVE the Bible. Yet you say that he is not coming back, meaning you don’t BELIEVE the Bible. Make up your mind girl!! The post by Christlike is on target. I’ll pray for you!!
One down and many more to go I am sure. When will the courts start going after all the Prosperity Pimps who are raping all the older folks of all the money, promising a blessing if they only send in a seed faith amount. I can’t imagine their place next to the open pit roasting I am sure they will attend.
And you shall know them by their fruits. The fruit of this man’s life was disgracefully foul and corrupt. The notion that he was a man of God is ludicrous! Except the Lord grants him repentance, he is a hopeless reprobate! There is a huge distinction between men of God who have fallen into sin, and this man who was false from the beginning. Unbelievers, don’t be confused by the likes of Alamo.
He has not seen nothing yet. When he stands before God, this imposter will wish he was never born. It is people like him who give a bad name to the real servants of God.
Interesting times we live in when someone calling themself “Christlike” begins by calling someone a “retard.” I haven’t read the New Testament lately, but I don’t recall Jesus doing much name-calling. It’s too bad religion has become a place for the ignorant to feel superior.
The definition of Angel is, ’sent messenger of God’ or something like that. This guy’s fruits shows he isn’t know Angel.
If this would have happened before Jesus came to earth he would have gotten the death sentence. With know chance to repent.
It’s ironic that Dick asked for castration!
No one who didn’t live there has a right to say whether ‘justice has been served’.
I did, and no justice has not been served concerning Bernie Hoffman.
Justice for him would be to eat slop for over 40 years, as he force fed his followers from 1966 to 2008 when he was arrested.
Justice for him would be to work for $5.00 per week at menial jobs for 12 hours a day while fasting, as he required adults AND children to do while he ate haute cuisine and slept and lived in a Mansion, wore only hand tailored clothes and had regular cosmetic surgery.
Justice for him would be NO MEDICAL care at all! No dental care, let his remaining teeth rot out in pain as he forced his members to do while he had expensive dental implants.
Justice for him would be for him to be held down by four grown men and be beat with a board 140 times until his skin bleeds by a fifth enforcer. To be “smitten” with a fist in his face while the entire congregation watched.
Justice for him would finally be raped over and over again by a man three times his size who stank of sweat and slobber while using Viagra.
Finally, justice for him will be an eternal lake of fire and torture for doing unto God’s Little ones, exactly what should be done to him.
There is a reason why God Word says “Vengence is mine, I will repay”… It is because the things that we humans can think of are nothing compared to the judgement awaiting those who harm Christians in the Name of Jesus.
People are not very bright…They have not ONE piece of evidence to convict Pastor Alamo. NONE! Only liars who stand to win over 2 million dollars to destroy this bible believing Pastor and his church. People are so brainwashed by the media lies it’s amazing..like cattle led to the slaughter.
They stole 36 children at machine gun point, abused now by DHS, Foster Care, Judges and the feds found NO evidence of abuse and still won’t return them. Even shot them full of poison flu vaccines and other immunizations even thou the parents had exemptions on file. There was never any abuse found on any of those children and they still won’t return them. They want to close down the whole ministry because they don’t want the expose’s on the Vatican being the head of the New World Order and all it’s evil broadcast and they hate the preaching of the bible. This is another inquisition right from Rome carried out by our Vatican government. They are taking rights away left and right and people are too blind to see it…Even Bill Clinton had evidence against him. Remember the blue dress? If there was one shred of evidence in any of these false accusations its for sure YOU would hear it broadcast far and wide! I challenge anyone to find me an article with what evidence they found to put this man away for the rest of his life. Please people WAKE UP!

hey yo! FREDDY..Maybe you should read your bible sometime…Jesus called people worse names than retard. like viper, pigs, snakes..just to name a few.
Victim Testimony (independantly coroborated) verified by medical examination, including DNA and child birth-age IS EVIDENCE, dummy,
People are ignorant is not your real name and you have been reported, MR FREISS.
You weren’t there when the 36 children were rescued from their abusive parents by DHS. You obviously didn’t pay much attention to the video posted by the CULT that showed the rescue and NO MACHINE GUNS were drawn, used, carried or even there!
You evil Cult Leader has been found guilty. If there were no evidence, how did that happen. You aren’t very bright MR FREISS.
glad you stuck the truth on here about tony aLAMEo’s true colors, Dyann. They all just lie like crazy, every last one of them saw the beatings, they all knew what he was doing in that house with those little girls. Their precious pedophile certainly was NOT framed, he couldn’t keep his hands off little girls,period.
