Televangelist Jim Bakker was convicted in 1989 for fraud after a newspaper discovered and prosecutors investigated that millions of dollars in donations to his popular PTL Club were being used improperly, including to pay hush money to a church secretary with whom he had an affair. Bakker admitted to having "sinned" and later penned the memoir, "I Was Wrong." After serving five years of a 45-year sentence, Bakker was paroled in 1994.
