This man is now either "gone to his place," or he is well known by true Bible believers for what he is. We no longer have up to date information on the man, so just stay clear of him and his dirty mouth. In 2002, Stair, then aged 69, was arrested in Walterboro on two counts of criminal sexual conduct in the second degree. Two women associated with the compound, ages 18 and 20, alleged that he coerced them by "enforcing his religious/personal beliefs" on them. In 2004, Stair pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of assault and battery by fondling the two former residents, and was sentenced to time served, a total of 77 days in custody. During his incarceration, recorded programs continued to be broadcast. Stair's conviction caused division in the community, and about 40 members of the community left. However, about 70 residents remained loyal to him and there are two small branch communities, which are part of his ministry One former member began his own shortwave program after leaving the community. |
