Polygamous leader convicted over girl found in trailer

Samuel Bateman, a polygamous sect leader and self-proclaimed prophet, was convicted in Arizona on child abuse charges after police found three girls inside a trailer during a traffic stop. The girls, aged 11 to 14, were living in the unventilated trailer in hot conditions, which prosecutors described as endangering their safety. Bateman, already serving a federal sentence for conspiracy related to child sexual abuse, the kidnapping of minors, and coercion involving underage girls, denies intending harm and claims he trusted himself as the driver. His case is linked to broader abuse and kidnapping conspiracy and connected to communities associated with the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
