Dr. Kent Hovind, Baptist minister and Creation Science Evangelist has served 99 months of a
10-year prison sentence for a misapplied RICO statute and IRS employer tax laws. Hovind supporters maintain that he was targeted by the IRS and the federal government for being an effective, outspoken Christian creationist, and that his sentence and ongoing prosecution is outrageous for an alleged victimless offense. Dr. Hovind has maintained his innocence throughout this entire ordeal and maintains a belief that churches should be free to preach
God’s word without interference from the state (ie 501c3). Kent's case was recently featured in The New American as well as CowgerNation. Also Dr. Kent Hovind has been responding to
Bible questions for his many supports on youtube channel LoneStar1776.
Hovind’s incarceration far exceeds that of much greater convicted tax cheats who often either pay a fine or are imprisoned for a short time. The average jail time served for someone convicted of tax related charges in 2013 was 14 months. In addition to the original charges,
Hovind faces new charges for mail fraud, as he allegedly used the prison mail system for contesting the lien placed on his personal property that was seized by the federal government.
If convicted, Hovind faces a new sentence of 20 - 100 years which would keep him imprisoned for the remainder of his natural life. Hovind often recommends to people to read his
2005 affidavit for background on his case.
Hovind’s new trial date has been rescheduled from February 9th to March 2nd. Hovind’s trial date has been postponed several times within the past year. Judge Margaret Casey Rodgers of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida is the federal judge set to preside over the upcoming trial. Judge Rodgers presided over Hovind’s original trial. Judge Rodgers has exhibited an anti-Christian bias, having issued a court order to a school district to refrain from allowing religious activity in the form of prayer at school events. Dr. Hovind also claims
Judge Rodgers stated his crimes were “worse than rape” or words to that effect at his January
2007 sentencing. Dr. Hovind has submitted to the court several affidavits from others in the courtroom who claim to have heard Judge Rodgers make this statement as well. Since the trial transcripts do not reflect this statement, one is left to wonder how and why it was removed. On page 12 of Hovind’s trial
