She looks great. Seattle Times is reporting today that this creep held her in some kind of polygamous arrangement. I hope that's not true. If true, her life will never be the same and I wish the man could hang for it. Is that still available in UT...or firing squad?

Don't know any more, but back when I was in law school, Utah gave condemned prisoners their choice of hanging or the firing squad. There was a famous case (the name of which I don't recall :)) in which the condemned man chose hanging because he learned it would cost the state far more than simply shooting him.

Polygamous Communities

Victims of Sexual Abuse Can Find Support


ABCNEWS.com

Feb. 28 — On 20/20 Sunday, John Quiñones speaks with women who say they were victims of sexual and physical abuse in polygamous communities.

A 16-year-old says she was brutally beaten when she attempted to flee. Others tell stories of being sexually assaulted by their fathers. One even says she was forced to marry her uncle — as his 15th wife.

“Probably the safest place for a pedophile is in the polygamist community,” a survivor tells Quinones.

“There’s just no intervention. And if it reaches the leaders [of the community], they never report it. It’s never reported.” admits Utah’s Attorney General Jan Graham, “We don’t know the full extent of domestic violence or sexual abuse in any [polygamous] community because it exists in a climate of secrecy.”

"Seattle Times is reporting today that this creep held her in some kind of polygamous arrangement"

Once again political correctness runs amok. These are weasel words [polygamous arrangement] for statutory rape. Of course we know that Utah has a long history of this sort of thing but why not call words what they are. It makes no difference what the girl wants to do. It is a matter of law. Calling it a 'polygamous arrangement" gives a legitimacy to this entire sordid mess. It is abduction and rape - nothing more or less. Watch this get spun out of all reasonable interpretation of the facts. Say slowly and carefully:
ABDUCTION
RAPE

I thought polygamous relationships were encouraged there, not a hangable offense. lol.

I agree the guy should be hung or worse!

Thank God she was found alive, my family and I could not believe it, the best news in a long time.

She was stolen as a breeder and hidden through a "religion" protected by Political Correctness.

Our society must recover from PC paralysis. Compare this act with the Koran, Hadith, and Sharia.

The homelss street preacher/mullah must hang and his conspirator cult should either hang or spend their lives locked away with their new Big House polygamous husbands.

We must leave this stolen, raped child alone.

Won't happen. Oprah, don't you dare, girl.
