I was living in the Baton Rouge area when the prostitute scandal hit in '88. His ministry college/campus was deserted almost overnight. He was kicked out of the Assembly of God as a pastor. The real story started a few years before when he ratted out a competitor tv pastor named Gorman, IIRC. Swaggart ruined Gorman and Gorman vowed to get revenge. A few years later, Gorman turned over pics of Swaggart and a prostitute to the church, news media, and college board.
