From Foxnews: "Investigators determined that there is a widespread pattern and practice of the (YFZ) Ranch in which young, minor female residents are conditioned to expect and accept sexual activity with adult men at the ranch upon being spiritually married to them," read the affidavit signed by Lynn McFadden, a Department of Family and Protective Services investigative supervisor.
McFadden said the girls were spiritually married to the men as soon as they reached puberty and were required to bear children. A spiritual marriage is one recognized by the FLDS church, but lacking a state marriage license. Texas law prohibits polygamy and the marriage of girls under 16."
Kev,
I don't get it, first you denounce the physical abuse of children and then you minimize the sexual exploitation of underage girls? How so?
The state came in and rounded up almost 400 children. Even 2 year old got taken away from there parents. That is wrong in my book.
