An FBI agent claims that an alleged polygamist cult leader – who has more than 20 wives, many of them below the age of 15 – sex-trafficked children, and that he even attempted to marry his own daughter.
Bateman began taking other wives, amassing more than 20 of them — most of them under the age of 15 — and gathered around 50 followers. Most of his wives are from two families of his followers, the filing alleges.
Portions of the affidavit draw on recordings made by a couple who gained Bateman’s trust while trying to help people in the FLDS community and also filming a documentary. They described Bateman introducing them to a nine-year-old as his wife. They also turned over a recording from a 2021 conversation recounting an incident known as “the Atonement,” in which Bateman “gave” three of his wives, one of whom was only 12, to “wicked bastards,” or three of his adult male followers, for sex.
