The question was not multiple wives, it was age. Multiple wives is not even mentioned in the article. What you are saying is pure speculation. You aren't aware that the FLDS is a polygamist cult? It has to be mentioned? Exactly WHAT do you consider polygamy to be?
The earlier refusal to provide access was even more disconcerting because CPS investigators have yet to identify the 16-year-old girl …
I suggest you do some research on how these cults operate. Identifying the girl could put her family members remaining in the compound in danger.
I may be speculating, but I believe you will find that the girl is indeed, not the legal wife and that statutory rape charges are indicated.
As a follow up to my post #89, (
I may be speculating, but I believe you will find that the girl is indeed, not the legal wife and that statutory rape charges are indicated.) from the Salt Lake Tribune: "Barlow is one of eight Colorado City men charged in Arizona in 2005 of marrying underage girls and committing sex crimes. He pleaded no contest in April 2007 to conspiracy to commit sexual conduct with a minor, and a second charge was dropped. The victim was a 16-year-old girl with whom he had a son."
Obviously, this present child was NOT his first or legal wife.
