Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker were two of the most well-known religious leaders in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s. They built an evangelical empire known as PTL (Praise the Lord). But it was built on a shaky foundation. After it came out that Jim Bakker had sexually assaulted a woman named Jessica Hahn and that he was committing massive fraud, their empire collapsed.
