this was done on a whim. i expect the girl calling was an excuse to go in.

These kind of prosecutions are perfect for the DA and Sheriff. Hollywood and the media have demonized Mormon polygamists, they are considered on the level of Nazis. So the public will believe anything they are told by a sob-sister media who fill the papers and the cable news shows with every salacious rumor they can find. No need to worry about anybody refuting what they say or print. It guarantees reelection and/or statewide office for the DA and Sheriff. And 6 to 12 months later, when nothing big goes down on the prosecution, nobody cares.

So the "Leader" does a few years, the men involved pay fines or do a few months county time and the women and kids end up on the short end of the stick.
