This guy appears to be charged with sexual misconduct relating to underage girls. Polygamy runs rampant in southern Utah/northern Arizona and there is very little local authorities ever do about it.

Sure, we get our nutters, but they tend not to get such large followings, because no one here gives a shit what god their neighbors worship.
