## Resource

A polygamous sect leader once dubbed a prophet faces prison time for orchestrating sex crimes against underage girls and child abuse, after being convicted in state court for leaving girls trapped in a suffocating trailer — all while he claimed divine blessing for his dangerous travels. Already serving a 50-year federal sentence for trafficking and kidnapping minors, Bateman, a former follower of Warren Jeffs, testified he’d never harm those he loved — even as evidence showed he knew the girls were overheating in a poorly ventilated trailer. His sect, once widespread, now exists as a tiny shadow of its former self. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
