Lazar arrest damages his credibility

Date
April 18, 1990

Background

Lazar is arrested in Nevada for his involvement in a brothel operation (pandering). He pleads guilty. Skeptics use the incident to question his general integrity. Supporters argue an offense in an area with legalized prostitution says nothing about technical claims. The incident remains to this day one of the main points of attack against Lazar.
