One of the reasons the FLDS went to Texas is because Utah was cracking down in various ways. ......After 55 years, the Short Creek raid.

But Utah won’t do mass raids, tearing up families like Texas is doing.......Good old Utah.

What Utah has done is prosecute the leader of the FLDS as an accomplice to rape, for sanctioning and performing a plural marriage of an underage girl to a 19 year old boy. ......After 55 years.

In addition, the state of Utah has placed a lot of their real property in a trusteeship, taking ownership away from the FLDS church. ......After 55 years.

You just say whatever Mormon garbage you think will fly.

What I said happens to be true. There have been other, individual prosecutions, as well, since the Short Creek raid.

Tom Green was sent to prison for underage sex and welfare fraud.

When there are individual crimes and evidence, they are prosecuted. When there are consenting adults living together in polygamous relationships, they are not prosecuted.

As someone on another thread said, you could go into any housing project in the US and find 12 and 13 year olds having sex and having babies, with the “baby daddies” wandering around impregnating at will and taking no responsibility. Does that mean the state can raid the place at will and take all the children?
