The judge that sentenced evangelist Tony Alamo on Friday to 175 years for child sex abuse warned the 75 year-old Alamo he’d be facing another type of justice.
“Mr. Alamo, one day you will face a higher and a greater judge than me,” U.S. District Judge Harry F. Barnes told the preacher. “May he have mercy on your soul.”
Barnes gave the maximum sentence to Tony Alamo, 75, who preyed on his followers’ young daughters and took child “brides” as young as age 8. Alamo was convicted in July on a 10-count indictment accusing him of taking the girls across state lines for sex.
