Polygamous Communities

Victims of Sexual Abuse Can Find Support

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.”

And especially the polygamist community founded by a pedophile, aka THE RELIGION OF PEACE^TM

It's strange that Mitchell didn't try to seek "safety in numbers." I hear he is virulently "anti-Mormon," but so are nearly all the polygamist cults.

We had a local preacher who was a polygamist and that was certainly true. And his victim was 14. They like them young because they are more easily brainwashed.

Furthermore, I don't want to hear a single lib/dem condemn this guy. After all, they embrace bizarre arrangements under the guise of "lifestyle." They embrace their sexually deviant and sadistic god, Alfred Kinsey, and enshrine his philosophy (that all children are sexual at birth) in their sex ed programs. And they embrace Jocelyn Elders who endorsed a recent book that claims there may actually not be a problem with child-adult sexual relationship (their euphemism for child rape is "intergenerational sex").

The lib/dems had better not rejoice in his capture - instead they should send an attorney to plead his alternative lifestyle choices as legitimate.
