It is most probable that the men of this cult are guilty. However.. some of the conclusions being made on this thread are flat out wrong.
Go to any highschool in America and you will find dozens of pregnant teens. If they arent at the school, it’s because they are pregnant and no longer attend. I went to HS 20 years ago and was quite amazed how few girls made it to graduation without getting pregnant.
Then think about all the abortions that millions of teens have had. People on this thread are ready to go in and burn this compound to the ground, but the state of Maine may be giving contraceptive pills to girls as young as 11 without consenting or even informing parents.
While I agree it is sick for a 50 year old man to “marry” a 16 year old girl, it is almost routine for a 16 year old girl to get pregnant in America (or anywhere in the world for that matter). I honestly think a lot of the hate being thrown around on this thread is more about the religion than the pregnancies. If not, where has all the righteous anger been when 11 year olds are given pills, and teens are free to get abortions without parental consent.
