Attorney: 8 new charges filed against Alamo

NORTH LITTLE ROCK — An attorney for jailed evangelist Tony Alamo says his client has been indicted on eight new federal charges.

Alamo has previously pleaded innocent to federal charges in Arkansas that he took minors across state lines for sex.

Attorney John Wesley Hall Jr. wouldn't give specifics Tuesday on the new charges in a sealed indictment but said they were similar to the existing counts.

U.S. attorney's spokeswoman Debbie Groom wouldn't comment on the new indictment Tuesday in Little Rock.

FBI agents arrested Alamo in September after his rural compound was searched by federal agents and state police.

Arkansas child welfare officials have seized 26 children associated with the Alamo ministries, citing allegations of beatings and sexual abuse.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
