An Arizona polygamist cult leader was recently accused of marrying 20 women, including his own daughter and several underage girls, according to the FBI.
Samuel Rappylee Bateman, 46, has been held in jail in Arizona since September after FBI agents raided his two homes in Colorado City in September in search of evidence of any sexual relationships between underage children and adults. He has since been held in jail on suspicion of child abuse.
“God will fix their bodies and put the membrane back in their body. I’ve never had more confidence in doing his will. It’s all out of love,” Bateman allegedly said, per the affidavit. Martin’s affidavit notes that residents of Colorado City, including family members, contacted authorities in 2020 alleging that Bateman was marrying girls as young as 11 and 9.
