In 1986, Randi met Alvarez ~~(age 15 years old)~~ in a Fort Lauderdale public library after he had recently moved to Florida. Alvarez, who was then known as Peña, had left his native land in fear of his life after being threatened for being homosexual. The alias Peña used, Jose Alvarez, was already an actual person in the United States. The identity confusion caused the real Alvarez some legal and financial difficulties. Peña was arrested for identity theft and faced deportation. They resided in [[Plantation, Florida]].<ref name="scientific skeptic1"/><ref name="9wS9S">{{cite web \|url=https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2013/07/12/randi-got-married/ \|title=Randi got married\|last=Coyne\|first=Jerry A.\|author-link=Jerry Coyne \|date=July 12, 2013\|work=Why Evolution is True\|type=Blog\|access-date=October 9, 2013\|url-status=live\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131017022931/http://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2013/07/12/randi-got-married\|archive-date=October 17, 2013}}</ref><ref name="mrpxq">{{cite web\|url=http://www.skepticalabyss.com/?tag=tam-randi-amazing-meeti-g\|title=Live Blogging Tam Day Two (Friday)\|date=July 12, 2013\|work=The Skeptical Abyss\|type=Blog\|access-date=October 9, 2013\|url-status=dead\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103143722/http://www.skepticalabyss.com/?tag=tam-randi-amazing-meeti-g\|archive-date=November 3, 2013}}</ref><ref name="vNju7">{{Cite web\|url=https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bw9A1pR0EQa8bVJ4NHZUX19tdzQ/edit?pli=1&usp=embed_facebook\|title=Testimonial letters to Judge Hurley\|website=Google Docs\|access-date=September 19, 2022\|archive-date=September 20, 2022\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920170647/https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bw9A1pR0EQa8bVJ4NHZUX19tdzQ/edit?pli=1&usp=embed_facebook\|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="2enao">[[Sturgess, Kylie]] (March/April 2015).
