This undated photo provided by the Coconino County Sheriff's Office shows Samuel Bateman, the leader of a small polygamous group near the Arizona-Utah border who faces state child abuse charges, and federal charges of tampering with evidence. Prosecutors this week accused Bateman of helping orchestrate the escape of girls he considered his wives from state foster care while behind bars awaiting trial. In court documents filed Wednesday, Dec.
Prosecutors accuse Bateman of working with three of the women he says are his wives to “unlawfully seize, confine, inveigle, decoy, kidnap, abduct and carry away” three children and transport them to Washington state. He was once among Jeffs’ most trusted followers, but Jeffs denounced Bateman in a written revelation sent to his followers from prison, investigator Sam Brower, who has spent years following the group, told The Associated Press this year.
