Imprisoned polygamous leader allegedly orchestrated his child brides' escape from foster care
Fox News
Sam Bateman, an imprisoned polygamous leader in Arizona, allegedly helped orchestrate the escape of eight underage girls he considered to be his wives from foster placement.
The document is the latest development in a federal case that has roiled Bateman's small community on the Utah-Arizona border.
It supplements existing charges Bateman faces for impeding his impending prosecution. In it, prosecutors claim that Bateman, from the federal prison where he’s being held, spoke to two of the women he calls wives via video calls, including while they were driving from Arizona to Washington state and while they were in a hotel room with the girls.
