Polygamist “prophet” Samuel Bateman and three of his wives are facing federal kidnapping charges after they were caught traveling with underage girls in Flagstaff, Arizona in August. The FBI alleges Bateman is running a polyamorous cult, having as least 20 wives to himself. Bateman was arrested in Arizona after authorities discovered three underage girls traveling in a squalid trailer attached to the fundamentalist church leader’s pickup truck. Bateman faces trial on March 14 after pleading not guilty to federal kidnapping and tampering with evidence charges. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie and defense attorney Duncan Levin have the details.

You all know the LDS are the exact same and still get sealed to other woman, they just don’t get to breed them until they die and become gods of their own planets.
Pedophiles.

As I was going to St. Ives
I met a man with seven wives
Said he: “I find it’s lots more fun
than being stuck with only one.â€

Small trailer pulled by pickup truck. Why is large truck shown?
Ok I'm confused… He married underage children. He was driving with ppl in his trailer. What kind of laws r they failing to see. Who cares if they r raised where if u know they r underage and if u know they have been manipulated. Then it's not a case of can't get evidence it's blatantly ignoring the facts. If a jury can't figure that out then it is us as the public who failed those kids

That’s where Kody Brown lives and at the time was practicing polygamy
Polygamy is disgusting it needs to be federally illegal
sick sick sick POS makes me stomach turn 😡🤢
Wow! Samuel Bateman! He didn't want to give his name because that's Jason Bateman's little brother!🙀
02:30 so now, using your right to remain silent is indictment for refusal to cooperate? ðŸ‚💩
they will not change
Proof that adults have a huge impact on what a child will become and do. They don't make these types of decisions fully on their own
I swear I’ve seen these women around the hospital too constantly visiting someone
Eww. I jyst heard these girls are his Wives and he's been trafficking them to other men under religious nonsense.
The way they do it is they throw every charge relatable to your crime and will go for the ones that actually stick. That’s what I assume the police did in his case.
Some people should be jailed for LIFE!
These girls [they are all under 18] are groomed & indoctrinated from birth to be subservient to men and to obey. A few of the older girls / 'wives' appear to be in charge of and speaking for the younger girls. This is accepted by them and considered normal. They believe this is God's will and they are taught to believe that girls/women have no choice and will never be in control of their own lives.
Back seat of that patrol car is ridiculously small 😂
But that hair and those dresses! Why don't the men have to wear home made clothes too?
No wonder he didn’t want to give his name he a straight up Nonce and the poor brainwashed kids angry at the cops for arresting their abuser it’s so sick 🤢
LIFE IN PRISON..the worst FEDERAL prison there is.
Oh my gosh, is that little child also a wife of his???? She's 11 yrs old!!! 11!!! The oldest is 14?!?!? 😱ðŸ˜
Paedophile
The reason our government hasn't gone after these monsters is because the government protects these monsters
