Ummm, Jimmy Swaggart and his cousin Jerry Lee Lewis spring to mind.. You're right. Marrying your underage cousin, which Jerry Lee did, was considered statutory rape --and a ticket straight to the Hot Place. Actually, I was thinking of less specific, non-legal complaints, like Elvis' hip-gyrations being too suggestive for the Vestry. Obligatory bicycle content for the net-curtain twitchers: that was also the year, or the year before or after, that I rode the museum's penny-farthing in the parade and round the showgrounds.

I seem to remember Swaggart on the news "preaching" against his cousin's rock and roll life style being his road to ruin. That was before Swaggart got caught with the hooker.
