According to an FBI release at the time of the arrest, Alamo was arrested for transporting a minor (under 18) across state lines “with the intent to engage in sexual activity that would be a criminal offense under state law.”

To say Alamo is a little out there might be an understatement.  John Williams interviewed Alamo in an item that appeared on the Times blog on Sept., 22.
