Arkansas ? A raid forced in haste, a prosecution relying on decade-old memories and a jury dealing with a century-old morality law could have given evangelist Tony Alamo a chance to walk away from sex crime charges a free man.

The five women he took as underage “wives” when they were as young as 8 didn’t let that happen.

Jurors cried with the women through their testimony, listening as they related how Alamo told them God commanded them to be his sexual partners and even molested one girl while he was in federal prison. They did not falter under cross-examination, staring down the man who took their childhood and exploited their faith.

“I just don’t want him to hurt anybody else,” the woman Alamo took as a “bride” at age 8 said on the stand, weeping. “I don’t want him to touch my little sister. She’s only 12.”

Alamo, 74, stood silently Friday as he was convicted of all 10 charges against him, a contrast to his occasional mutterings during testimony. He is set to be sentenced in six to eight weeks.
