Theodore Anthony Rinaldo (March 11, 1944 – February 13, 2000) was an American charismatic religious leader, businessman, and convicted child sex offender. During the 1970s, Rinaldo and his associates formed and operated a non-profit corporation, ''Ellogos'', and several profit-making businesses based in Snohomish, Washington, including ''Eden Farms'', ''Cascadian Publishing'', ''Golden Gallery'', and ''Ted Anthony & Associates'', among others. In 1979, Rinaldo was arrested on seven charges, including felony counts of statutory rape, indecent liberties, and intimidating a witness. Later that year, he was convicted of third-degree statutory rape for having sexual intercourse with one minor girl and of taking indecent liberties with another. ==Early life and education== Rinaldo was born in 1944 in Oneida, New York into a Catholic family. He attended Oneida High School (class of 1963),〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Oneida High School Class of 1963 website )〕 but being a borderline juvenile delinquent, never earned a high school diploma. After some friends were killed in an automobile accident, he resolved to study to become a priest. However, he also explored a number of other churches, and ended up becoming the "black sheep in a Catholic family." He attended a Bible college in New York state, but dropped out after about a year. After leaving Oneida, he worked at a variety of odd jobs, never spending more than a year in one place.〔 In an interview with the ''Everett Herald'', Rinaldo said that he had been an ordained minister "for a brief time", but later declined to identify the church which had ordained him.〔 Rinaldo eventually ended up in Tucson, Arizona, where he spoke at a religious meeting attended by Paul Goff. Goff invited Rinaldo and his family to live in his Tucson guest house, where they resided for three months.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Theodore Rinaldo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
