A former member of the Amish church has sued the church, its charitable organizations and church officials, claiming they conspired to ruin his business and seize his home when he did not follow church teachings.

Daniel Stoltzfus of Kirkwood claims he was shunned by the church after Amish members learned he was a born-again Christian who did business with a Jewish man.

In a suit filed Feb. 4 in federal court in Philadelphia, Stoltzfus and his wife, Savilla Stoltzfus, accuse the church of "tortuously interfering with and shutting down" his business and accusing him of keeping his wife against her will and abusing the couple's children.

The suit also accuses Amish church officials of conspiring to purchase the Stoltzfus' property at a sheriff's sale at a fraction of its value.

Though the home was sold at a sheriff's sale, the Stoltzfuses and their 11 children continue to live at the Kirkwood property because they have not been evicted.

The couple is seeking $1.1 million in damages and the return of their former property, along with other unspecified damages.

In that article, it says that they both left the Amish church in 2003, and from other articles relating to this current case of giving their daughter away to be raped, in his mug shot, again the father has a bushy mustache and no Amish man has ever been allowed to grow hair above their lip. I can't be certain if it's the same Daniel and Savilla Stoltzfus, but comparing the two pics, it sure looks him.
