After doing some reading on Set Free South Dakota and Pastor Al Peratt, I felt the need to reflect. Pastor Al Peratt, who also started the Servants for Christ MC, South Dakota Chapter, runs the organization. The article I read through and quote comes from the Living Stones News Internet site. You can follow this link to read the article for yourself:

The drama starts out with Al Peratt (AKA as Nasty Al, by his own admission) being molested at a church. Peratt states, “parents need to be aware.” Later, he becomes involved in the Brotherhood, a biker gang. They wanted Al to kill someone but he did not want to. So, he left town. The FBI paid him a visit and wound up giving him a plea deal and the others wound up doing life, since 1972.
Soon after, he smokes a joint with the dad of a 15-year-old child, named Teresa, and obtained permission for her to move in with him. Nasty Al is a 25 year old grown man at this time. Aren’t there laws to protect children from people like this? It’s as though Teresa is an object to be bartered and later manipulated.
Teresa used to pack the dope for him during a smuggling operation, according to Nasty Al. Nasty goes to prison. Nasty gets out of prison. Nasty continues his known behaviors. Nasty winds up in prison again and then got a federal indictment for racketeering influenced corrupt organization, a gang leader of 150 people. He faced 160 years in prison and somehow wound up getting 5 years while currently incarcerated.
I can’t help but feel that Nasty Al leaves some of the pieces of the puzzle out of the picture.
First, he doesn’t mention if he becomes a witness in any of these legal encounters. Sometimes people tend to leave things out to make themselves appear to be something they aren’t. Was he an informant or not?
Secondly, does he have any remorse for hooking up with a 15-year-old child? Does he feel it is okay for dads to give permission to have their adolescent children/daughters move in with grown men?
Third, it appears manipulation has run rampant in his life. Just because he says it, are we supposed to believe him?
After all, he is Pastor Al…..
Nasty got on his knees in his cell. Big deal, so do lots of other criminals. I can’t help but feel this guy just wants another organization he can control, thus we have Set Free South Dakota and Servants for Christ MC. He appears to have a yearning for being on the edge.
Wake up people.
Minors are not objects to be bartered with and my heart goes out to Teresa, having a dad like that. Her being handed off to Nasty Al would disgust any civilized human being.
I agree with Nasty Al that parents need to be aware, with one exception: Not only from others but from him as well.
