Small, child-like fingers had been spotted poking out of an enclosed wooden trailer being towed in Arizona.
When police pulled over the driver, they found three girls aged between 11 and 14 hidden in the back amid squalid conditions.
There was no ventilation, and pictures released by the Coconino County Superior Court later revealed a toilet in the corner made of a bucket, trash bag and plastic seat.
There was also a dingy brown couch, camping chairs, stroller and other junk crammed inside.
The driver was Samuel Bateman - a former member of the Fundamentalist Church of the Latter Day Saints (FDLS) and self-professed polygamist 'prophet' who claimed to have 20 wives, including child brides as young as nine.
Chilling bodycam footage from August 2022 showed the moment he was handcuffed in Flagstaff, looking miserable and with his belly hanging over his pants.
He was later charged with a sickening array of child sex crimes.
Now more than two years later, the former cult leader, 48, has finally been sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Bateman pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit transportation of a minor for sexual activity and one count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping.
He was sentenced to 50 years on each count, to be served concurrently.

Mitt Romney’s dogs seem to fare better than these girls.
Justice served!! May it rot in prison.
He won’t be there long enough to rot. He will not live long. Good riddance to trash.
“The driver was Samuel Bateman - a former member of the Fundamentalist Church of the Latter Day Saints (FDLS) and self-professed polygamist ‘prophet’ who claimed to have 20 wives, including child brides as young as nine.”
Seems like a just punishment for him would be removal of hands and feet and then castration to finish his punishment.
I am too. I can’t believe these girls were as young as 9 years old. This guy is a monster.
thought it was about a new film concerning Islam
I, too, thought Mo’ Ham Head right off the bat.
He won’t be there long enough to rot. He will not live long. Good riddance to trash.

First thought was “Concurrent? Nah, make it sequential.”
But you’re right. He won’t be there long enough. His kind have a short lifespan in the big house.
I thought this was a movie trailer about the history of Islam.
Jesus recommends the punishment for crimes against children in;
Mark 9:42
Matt 18:6
&
Luke 17:2
In some ways the LDS is much like islam.
Justice would be a millstone.
But this is a start.
Rot in prison, die in prison…. I prefer he meets the same predation in prison he forced on those and other children, as a preview of his eternity in Hell.
There is no shortage of evil in this world. America has more than its share of it. It is always been here, but Satan has been particularly happy and active of late.
Don’t let Biden know about him. He’s in a pardoning mood, and this guy is probably someone he can relate to.
Did you see his mug shot? I’m always surprised by how many child molesters have this same look: big face, little features... like his head grew to full size but his face remained 10 years old. It’s weird.
