Context
This conviction came less than a decade after Hovind completed his 8-year federal prison sentence for tax fraud. It represents his second criminal conviction and adds to a broader pattern of behavior documented on this site — including harassment of critics and legal intimidation tactics against those who report on his record.
Hovind has continued operating Dinosaur Adventure Land and his online ministry following the conviction.
