Summary
Samuel Bateman, a polygamist leader, was sentenced to 50 years in prison for coercing underage girls into sexual activity and attempting to kidnap them from protective custody.
Bateman, who claimed over 20 spiritual wives, including 10 minors, orchestrated a scheme to transport girls across state lines for his crimes.
Seven of Bateman’s adult “wives” have been convicted of related crimes, while two brothers face sentencing for their involvement in the scheme.
I have no explainable way to express how unsurprised I am
Mostly I’m surprised this dude could get laid.
Everything boils down to sex.
Except sex. Sex is about power.
It’s amazing that every single article about this guy will bend over backwards to avoid the words “Mormon” or “Christian”.
I guess really all it takes is a complete lack of morals, ethics or empathy, and literally anyone could do this. I mean look at this fucking guy…
