Televangelist preacher Jim Bakker has died. In the 70s and 80s, he and his wife Tammy Faye Bakker had a Christian TV show called PTL Club. Notoriously, Jim Bakker was accused of rape by his church clerk, which he denied, although he confirmed that they had intercourse. Bakker was also convicted of mail fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy for soliciting donations from his viewers and using the money to fund his lavish lifestyle.
