An evangelist who is serving a prison sentence for taking young girls across state lines for sex was ordered to pay two former members of his ministry more than $30 million for ordering them to be beaten. A jury on Thursday found the evangelist, Tony Alamo, liable in a civil lawsuit in Texarkana. Mr. Alamo’s lawyer, John Wesley Hall Jr., called the sums “outlandish” and said he would ask that they be reduced.
