Tony's Boys
During the later 1960s and early 1970s, Tony turned his attention to religious revivals and traveled across the South. He would invite young boys from both his home town and towns along his travels to come with him, promising to teach them the ways of the Bible. The boys would earn their way by setting up lights, playing music, or driving tent trucks for Tony's revival tent. Then, during the night at his motel room in that city, he would molest the boys. The boys' parents were often deceived by Tony's charm, and the boys who were victimized never spoke out of embarrassment. Those who did speak out were often hushed up by disbelief.

Famous quotes containing the word boys:
“Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
