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:
“I see you boys of summer in your ruin.
Man in his maggot’s barren.
And boys are full and foreign in the pouch.
I am the man your father was.
We are the sons of flint and pitch.
O see the poles are kissing as they cross.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
