(October 6, 2008)—Evangelist Tony Alamo was on his way back to Arkansas from Arizona under the watch of U.S. marshals after his arrest on charges he transported children across state lines to engage in sexual activity.
A federal marshal in Arkansas confirmed Monday that Alamo is on his way, but didn’t offer any other details.
State and federal authorities raided Alamo's compound in Arkansas last month, looking for evidence that children there had been molested or filmed having sex.
State authorities later took six girls from the compound into protective custody, but haven’t said what the girls told them.
Five days after the raid, FBI agents arrested Alamo in Arizona.
Alamo has said he considers the age of consent to marry to be puberty, and that there's a mandate in the Bible for girls marrying young, but he denies the federal allegations.
He was convicted on tax-related charges in 1994 and served four years in prison.
