He previously pleaded not guilty, denying the charges while at the same time saying the Bible described the age of consent as when young girls first reach puberty.
A guilty verdict on one charge from the 10-count indictment could place Alamo behind bars for the rest of his life.
A federal judge sentenced him to six years in prison in 1994 for tax evasion, making him a candidate for harsher sentence. But Alamo previously beat a federal criminal indictment in 1991, something the flamboyant evangelist will hope to do again.
