TEXARKANA, Ark. (AP) - A federal judge has delayed a sentencing hearing for evangelist Tony Alamo, who was convicted on charges of taking young girls across state lines for sex.

U.S. District Court Judge Harry F. Barnes reset Alamo's sentencing for 9 a.m. Nov. 13. In a one-page order issued Tuesday, Barnes said an unexpected change in the trial docket required him to delay the hearing.

A jury convicted Alamo on a 10-count indictment in July. Alamo faces a maximum sentence of 175 years in prison.
