Sect leader Samuel Bateman sentenced to additional 24 years for child abuse

Samuel Bateman, already serving a 50-year federal sentence, received an additional 24-year state sentence for child abuse involving the transport of minors in an unventilated trailer. The conviction stems from a 2022 traffic stop in Flagstaff, Arizona, which exposed the conditions of the polygamous sect's operations.
