- Polygamist cult “prophet” Sam Bateman was sentenced to 50 years in prison, followed by lifetime supervised release. Bateman pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit transportation of a minor for criminal sexual activity and conspiracy to commit kidnapping. The 48-year-old targeted families with minor daughters and used them as “child brides” to sexually abuse them. Law&Crime’s Sierra Gillespie breaks down the disturbing case.

Imagine had that person not called
That's the case daily sadly as 100s if not 1000s of minors amd young women are trafficked across the states by all sorts of groups
Have you seen the show on Hulu with the behind the scenes of the call ? It was 100% trafficing along with his illegal wives smh
Imagine if someone called a long time before that? Imagine if people didn’t give him their children?⚠️☣️😮
Imagine hating this before you show support for that war over there 🤦♂️
@@danidan9917: Especially Social SERVICES YOUR STATE ADOPTION'S !
Nearly ALL cult leaders are pdf files.
I don't know why this is true, but it is.
That's the sole purpose of cults, to control women and girls.
Add all leaders to that list. CEOs, people networking their trade, politics, police chiefs, the popular dad on the block, the favorite teacher. It's a human nature thing, not just a cult thing.
Not like this so called religion!!@@Undomaranel
@@Undomaranelhuman nature?? 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Asked and answered. They form the cults to practice their evil ways.
If you’re unfamiliar with the FLDS cult, there’s a Netflix documentary from 2022 called Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey, would recommend watching it to understand the rise/fall of Warren Jeffs
Have you seen the latest one on Hulu?
Ugh, I couldn’t keep that song out of my head for months. Still can’t stand to hear the words “be sweet”…
Thank you fob911 ! I copied the name of the documentary and I found in on youtube . Very interesting !
That was a great documentary, but very hard to watch...horrible to think about the abuses that went on.
Great documentary! I remember watching it in a halfway house detoxing on the couch lol
Jail for life .
Effectively 😊
Diddy needs a cellmate😊
As someone who escaped a cult that tortured me for years and kidnapped my youngest daughter for 3 years, I am beyond thrilled to hear about this sentence. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You look like u were in a cult
Get out of the psychotic country.❤the whole place is a complete mess.
How did you escape?
Your the problem your stupidity put your child at risk
@@e13kid she didn't escape... she clearly lives with the victim mentality and will therefore always be a captive
In polygamy the children always end up with the older uncle, grandpop, step dad, cousin; Etc. Young children married their grandfather and don't think its bad because that's all they know. Being abused is what they are accustom too.
And that's the heart breaking part that it's so normalized for them that they'll lie to cover for the abuser smh it's so sad
@@suchafknladyyy5780prison justice is far quicker than being outside and free. He’s a dead man and he doesn’t even know it yet.
Where is the link between polygamy and incest? Sounds like a baseless claim
Accustomed to
@@itzrayyothere’s many documentaries and actual news stories of incest happening a lot in churches not just FLDS. I read a Mormon couple ra*ed their teen daughter until she called the cops on them after she couldn’t take it anymore.
I hate this cult so bad
I hate ANY cult.
I hate all cults
I am NOT IN THE LEAST BIT SURPRISED!!!!!!!!!! IT IS LITERALLY DOWNRIGHT EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Julie Gill, Glasgow, Scotland.
@ yes ma’am
its a religion , like most worldy religions its used as a tool by humans to manipulate the mind
They are a cult, not any sort of church.
LDS or FLDS?
@@nathanielbables8652 They’re both cults but there’s obvious differences between them.
That's all any religion is
LDS doesn't recognize these splinter groups@@nathanielbables8652
No difference
I have nothing against women’s fashion from the 1800s, but it’s creepy in this context.
Thats not fashion thats assshion
This happened a while ago, some of the girls are really young 😮
Two were as young as 8-years-old. (not shown in this video)
INTO THE WOOD CHIPPER
Feet first...
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
no pl0x
A trailer says everything you need to know. Someone saw a hand and call the cops. Vile disgusting pervert!!!!
Appreciate the follow up on this story.
Terrible the damage he has done to the young girls. He destroyed their childhood. 😢😢
I remember that at the time. Most of the victims seemed brainwashed into silence.
I don't know why their faces are blurred, there's a TH-cam video out there of the actual traffic stop & the faces are shown.
I feel the same about the vaccination, Most of the victims seemed brainwashed into compliance yet here we are...
These people are sick.
Not really this is actually how society was back in the 1800s men who could afford it had multiple women as wives before laws was passed but the state of Utah still allows it just can't be underage
@@Wisdom24-7what are you talking about? Polygamy (even over 18) is a felony in Utah...
@@Wisdom24-7 where did men have multiple wives "back in the 1800s"?
@Wisdom24-7 that's not true. I think maybe you've been told lies to justify behavior in your community?
@Wisdom24-7 Its still illegal, babes...... also, thats not how the world worked back then...... thata juat a lie. This only happened in LDS cults....
How are cults like this still a thing????? WTFFF
I escaped a cult 8 years ago. Took me almost 10 years. The kidnapped my youngest daughter for almost 4 years. They take everything you love in the world and you have no idea how to live wo anyone or anything you love.😢
Their followers give them the power.
cos some peole are still braindead and always will be
Freedom of assembly; gullible followers;
Social media and the internet honestly makes it easier.
Where are the parents because they need to be held responsible for the abuse of these girls as well.
This is deeply disturbing & depressing.
Prime reminder of See Something, Say Something, and Stay Vigilant. The witness/caller in this case gave some of these girls the opportunity at a whole new life! Truly, whom ever you are, you are a hero 🕊️
He looks so guilty just standing.
Only 50 years?😡😡😡😡😡
He's 48 at the time so he would be over 100 if he get out.
He is never gonna come out.
If he serves it all. He’ll be 98. I doubt he makes it that long.
He won't live that long
One more example that absolute power absolutely corrupts.
Haves you seems your governments lately? 😂
yeah and this is small scale power. imagine our leaders and hollywierd.
@@joelsvidzhollywood and politicians aren’t were this is happening. Religious circles and backwoods America is. Stop the nonsense
Man uses religion for some heinous reasons sometimes..🤦🏾♀️
Absolutely but they're far from the first!! Different Religions and beliefs is Controversial and when you add in things each have been known for, in the past and Present it becomes quite heinous!!
The Bible says absolutely NOTHING prohibiting or denouncing any of this behavior FYI 😂
Just like female teachers using teaching for the same thing.
More than sometimes.
What a piece of work.
What an utterly disgusting man. 50 years? He should NEVER get out of prison for all those damaged lives.
Poor Girls.
WHAT THE CRAP IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!! TRULY TRULY EVIL
He was driving to flagstaff Arizona… that’s where the sister wives family use to live; Kody and his last wife still live there.
He needs life in prison at the very least.
He's 49 serving a 50 year sentence so....
I hired the Owners son of The Purple Turtle at BYU. Justin. I have been attacked 8 times. There are 18 lawyers, 3 CPA's, 2 Corporations and several executives involved in the Warren Jeff's like crimes. Justin lives in American Fork Utah. I provided a 32 mb document to Lieutenant Stuart Fort in American Fork Utah indicating it's a crime like The Alexander Brothers. Trafficking and exploitation.
Huh???
What?
Why did they attack you? Because you told the police they are trafficking?
@@sjohnson65456 I also provided the Hard Evidence to Sheridan Wall, a writer with The Real Deal who broke The Alexander Brothers story 5 months ago. When it was JUST accusations.
It’s a multi million dollar embezzlement and Federal Tax crime including exploitation and trafficking.
@@velocirapture89 I provided the same document to Joel Waldman from Surviving the Survivor. The same show that interviewed Lieutenant Fort recently about trafficking crimes.
Eyes too close together. Scary dude.
Like people have control over that smh. It's an en utero thing. Blame mom and dad, not him for bearing their screw ups.
Right? Guy's one hard punch away from his eyes merging.
We use to say That they Eyes love each other .Because they're so close.
@@Undomaranel Did not know Bateman had you as a supporter!
@@stewartabel ? Where did I support Bateman? I criticized OP attacking a phenotype, not showing support for a horrible monster.
"self-proclaimed prophet" also called "life coach" and "influencer".
Creepy 🤯
Imagine believing your fellow humans have some secret wisdom to impart and offering them blind obedience.
A fool is born every minute.
This is what happens when people listen blindly to liars and authoritarians.....
A fool is born every minute.
and yet they listen to and submit to authorities and politicians every day and wave their flag proclaiming they live in the land of the free.... where you are not allowed to do anything freely
I’m glad it was a trailer and not some state of the art RV. No one would’ve noticed at all
Hopefully justice will be served in prison
Those are the same people making a big deal about drag queens reading books to kids
Both are vile.
@@enemy.11how is reading to children in any way comparable to child abuse?
It's basically playing dress-up. Kids love that. It's not 'vile'. Clean your mind.
Please tell me how many drag organisations harmed many children? How many religious leaders harmed children? You are vile!
@1ACL you're wrong
👏👏👏👏 JUSTICE ….JUSTICE ….POLYGAMY SHOULD BE ILLEGAL IN ALL STATES ….
It is illegal everywhere in the US
It is illegal.. None of the marriages had any legal standing. They were purely religious.
@ 😳😱
It is
If someone wants to be married to more than one person, and all parties are in agreement, who are you, I, or the government to tell them they shouldn’t have the freedom to do so? The only issue I have here is with the religion that programs the women to think being less than is ok and the normalization of pdf’s
But 'certain' people are harassed by the police for 'looking suspicious' while clowns like him keep doing things like this.
L
What part of him getting locked up did you miss?
Um. The police pulled him over because he looked suspicious. And will be in jail for 50 years. Did you not watch the video?
Right
@@JosiePC44The police didnt pull him over because he looked sus...Its BECAUSE someone saw fingers poking out of the trailer and called.....Other than that hes been going strong for years without being stopped for "looking suspicious"...I wonder why.
How do Americans keep falling for this? ...again ... and again ... and again ??
A fool is born every minute.
Main character syndrome
….religion…and politics. Pretty much the main two things in the world where analytical skills and critical thinking goes out the window.
How do they even find all these girls like do the parents just give away their children to these men ! Insane
Criminals who should be sentenced to prison for life.
Not once did cops say , don’t be afraid , we are helping you
Instead they are threatening them.
If you watch the original video, the girls were sullen & lying to the police about their names & ages. Eventually the police got them to tell the truth.
Those children must have been terrified. Not one word of reassurance.
Not once
I noticed that wtf
Hey Sierra! This guy looks so creepy. Anyone who calls themselves a prophet is bad news.
😂 17 wives isn’t enough, some have to be like 12
😂
Ponting guns, a little girls locked in a trailer. Officers' safety at its finest.
These girls weren’t even born or
Can’t even remember 2008. If the oldest is 18 👀
I love the words "self-proclaimed prophet"!!!
Forgot about this case im glad this punk will be locked up for a long time 😊.. in jail he won't last long.
Gross
I hope these kids live a normal life after this 😞 and I hope big bob visits this guy in jail every night.
It's about time. Prayers have been answered.
My friend a child from such a marriage had negative things to say. He said his father with over 7 wives beat his mother and recieved welfare for 50 children
What about the big haired wrangler who was recording and intimidating the younger girls out of cooperating with police? Did she get charged? She was disgusting.
Are his eyes a little bit close together? Gives me the creeps.
Pure evil. Disgusting man instead of protecting are abusing children.
If he was a "prophet" he should have known he would get caught
Typical and Usual suspects. 🙋🏻♂️
Hes just trying to be like his beloved Mormon prophet joseph smith.
Friendly reminder that up until the 1900s it was common place in all European colonial settings for girls to be married in their teens. If you're going to attack the Mormons, make sure you equally attack the Spanish (who only recently raised age of consent from 13 to 16), and every other religion of the time for allowing common law customs. And don't turn a blind eye to young marriages still going on today in Asia, from India to the Middle East, and Africa's various conflict driven r culture to the point they developed inserts with teeth. Yes, inserts for women with teeth to punish anything that penetrates, it's that common for females of all ages.
Lol
@@Undomaranel no one is turning a blind eye to child marriage. You sound like you condone it--
And, by your logic, cannibalism is ok because humans used to do that, too.
Kids asking him to let him go id unbelievable
Just think if someone had not seen the girls fingers sticking outside of the trailer or those same people had not reported that to the authorities this sick freak would have continued to do this same thing.
This is NOT what religion is!!! Absolutely disgusting!! WHY blur it when it was already visual at the time it actually happened??
The officers don’t need to escalate the situation with the victims.
WTH?
Never understood how ppl fall for this cult stuff.
Thank you. Sierra Gillespie is the best investigative journalist.
I remember seeing this arrest on video a few years ago, never realised there was a pending court case.
What a sicko
This channel didn’t cover the jewish children abuse in Guatemala
Is this the one I seen about a year ago or a little better? It looks like it is it’s a rerun.
It’s a follow up.
Yes, this happened a while ago, but this video is letting us know what has happened since, namely that he’s been convicted. Hallelujah
Giving an update.
It's a follow up. Watch the full video before pausing 20 seconds in to make your comment.
All these pedals is just ridiculous at this point 😮
Why is this cop explaining this to children?
*Only fifty years?⚠️*
where are the parents?
Absolutely heartbreaking. Freaking ELEVEN YEARS OLD.
Never fails to end up at this point 🤬
The whole interaction between the Guy & police officers is just not sitting right.
Sick and Twisted..
How did he get these kids ?
A demonic wolf in sheep’s clothing…he does NOT represent Christ! I hope all the children heal from the brainwashing and trauma. Individuals like him sicken me. 😡💔😡💔😡💔😡
“Explain to me what’s going on”
”👀stuff”
The FLDS originated from the LDS church, so they are not different religions…FLDS are a type of fundamentalist Mormon sect.
These people are despicable 😡
Christians, learn something: after Christ there is no need for more prophets. He said everything you need to know. You should know better.
Them dresses lol
Not funny.. sad.
Children and non native speakers would not understand”suffer the consequences “ . Police need to use language that is clear and understandable.
I wondered what happened to this monster.
Wait...why were they stopped? The guy was practically whispering.
Stuff
Somebody reported seeing fingers coming out of a vent on the trailer.
Dude is cooked
Where do they find that many weird creeped out dresses LOL😅
6 hours ago? More like 6 years ago.😮
Usual suspects ☠️😂🥴🇺🇸
Next the Vatican.
And the rainbow community.
Nice try.
They've got millions of followers all over the world. And no were near as corrupt
@@scramble7673 how about the pr(y)de people?
