The leader of small polygamous group near the Arizona-Utah border had taken at least 20 wives, most of them minors, and punished followers who did not treat him as a prophet, newly filed federal court documents show. Samuel Bateman was a former member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or FLDS, until he left to start his own small offshoot group. He was supported financially by male followers who also gave over their own wives and children to be Bateman’s wives, according to an FBI affidavit. https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/avatar-2-2022-full-movie-free-online-on-123movies https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/avatar-2-2022-fullmovie-free-streaming-online https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/avatar-2-2022-movie-download-free-720p-480p-and-1080p https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/avatar-2-2022-watch-fullmovie-online-streaming https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/avatar-2-free-fullmovie-online-on-123movies-hd https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/avatar-2-2022-yts-torrent-download-yify-movies https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/avatar-the-way-of-water-2022-free-online-streaming-link https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/avatar-the-way-of-water-2022-movie-free-watch-online https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/black-panther-2-2022-free-online-streaming-link https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/black-panther-2-2022-movie-download-free-720p-480p-and-1080p https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/black-panther-2-2022-movie-free-watch-online https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/black-panther-2-2022-yts-torrent-download-yify-movies https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/black-panther-2-free-fullmovie-online-on-123movies-hd https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/black-panther-2-wakanda-forever-2022-fullmovie-online-at-home https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/black-panther-wakanda-forever-movie-torrent-movie-in-hd https://www.ign.com/account/playlist/lists/download123movies-avatar-2-2022-720p-and-1080p-on-eng-sub https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/download-avatar-2-2022-torrent-brrip-1080p https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/download-avatar-2-fullmovie-480p-720p-1080p https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/download-avatar-2-the-way-of-water-movie-fullmovie-480p-720p https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/download-avatar-the-way-of-water-2022-torrent-brrip-1080p https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/watch-avatar-2-2022-fullmovie-online-streaming-at-home https://www.ign.com/account/playlist/lists/watch-avatar-the-way-of-water-2022-free-on-utlocker https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/avatar-the-way-of-water-2022-movie-download-free-720p https://www.ign.com/playlist/jeffreystoikes/lists/free-download-avatar-2-the-way-of-water-2022-online https://tealfeed.com/download123movies-avatar-water-2022-full-movie-a0wnh https://tealfeed.com/123moviesavatar-2-water-2022-watch-full-kvbv7 https://tealfeed.com/avatar-2-water-2022-watch-full-qgsjy https://tealfeed.com/watch-avatar-2-water-2022-fullmovie-0bonm https://tealfeed.com/download123movies-avatar-water-2022-full-movie-a0wnh?full.movie https://tealfeed.com/123moviesavatar-2-water-2022-watch-full-kvbv7?full.movie https://tealfeed.com/avatar-2-water-2022-watch-full-qgsjy?full.movie https://tealfeed.com/watch-avatar-2-water-2022-fullmovie-0bonm?full.movie https://pastebin.com/jrbPBE9s https://www.geany.org/p/fidDa/ https://pastelink.net/deuevl1b https://ide.geeksforgeeks.org/fd25c65e-d55b-47a3-8072-2b8174edf2e1 https://pastebin.pl/view/ab02e3d9 https://www.vingle.net/posts/5056424 https://paste2.org/DnHjs3e3 https://justetext.com/l1gffh4s59 https://paste.rs/R9o https://www.pastery.net/jmapkc/ https://paste.ee/p/goA9h https://p.teknik.io/3AwiE https://paiza.io/projects/VJQAKjqKnLqG2vozoy29Rw https://notes.io/qvKpx https://ideone.com/zoLshq https://pasteio.com/x52kk7znyDBu https://bitbin.it/2whYA7uj/ The document filed Friday provides new insight into what investigators have found in a case that first became public in August. It accompanied charges of kidnapping and impeding a foreseeable prosecution against three of Bateman’s wives: Naomi Bistline, Donnae Barlow and Moretta Rose Johnson. Bistline and Barlow are scheduled to appear in federal magistrate court in Flagstaff, Ariz., on Wednesday. Johnson is awaiting extradition from Washington state. The women are accused of fleeing with eight of Bateman’s children, who were placed in Arizona state custody earlier this year. The children were found last week hundreds of miles away in Spokane, Wash. Bateman was arrested in August when someone spotted small fingers in the gap of a trailer he was hauling through Flagstaff. He posted bond but was arrested again and charged with obstructing justice in a federal investigation into whether children were being transported across state lines for sexual activity. Court records allege that Bateman, 46, engaged in child sex trafficking and polygamy, but none of his current charges relates to those allegations. Polygamy is illegal in Arizona but was decriminalized in Utah in 2020. Arizona Department of Child Services spokesman Darren DaRonco and FBI spokesman Kevin Smith declined to comment on the case Tuesday. Bistline’s attorney didn’t respond to a request for comment, and Barlow’s attorney declined to comment. Johnson didn’t have a publicly listed attorney. The FBI affidavit filed in the women’s case largely centers on Bateman, who proclaimed himself a prophet in 2019. Bateman says he was told by former FLDS leader Warren Jeffs to invoke the “Spirit of God on these people.” The affidavit details explicit sexual acts that Bateman and his followers engaged in to fulfill “Godly duties.” Jeffs is serving a life sentence in a Texas prison for child sex abuse related to underage marriages. Defense attorney Michael Piccarreta, who represented Jeffs on Arizona charges that were dismissed, said the state has a history of trying to take a stand against polygamy by charging relatively minor offenses to build bigger cases. “Whether this is the same tactic that has been used in the past or whether there’s more to the story, only time will tell,” he said. The office of Bateman’s attorney in the federal case, Adam Zickerman, declined to comment Tuesday. Bateman lived in Colorado City, Ariz., among a patchwork of devout members of the polygamous FLDS, former church members and those who didn’t practice multiple marriage. Polygamy is a legacy of the early teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but the mainstream Mormon church abandoned the practice in 1890 and now strictly prohibits it. Bateman often traveled to Nebraska where some of his other followers lived, and internationally to Canada and Mexico for conferences. When Bateman was arrested earlier this year, he instructed his followers to obtain passports and to delete messages sent through an encrypted system, authorities said. He demanded that his followers publicly confess any indiscretions and shared those confessions widely, according to the FBI affidavit. He claimed that the punishments, which ranged from a timeout to public shaming and sexual activity, came from the Lord, the affidavit states. The children, identified by their initials in court documents, have said little to authorities. The three children found in the trailer Bateman was hauling through Flagstaff — which had a makeshift toilet, a couch, camping chairs and no ventilation — told authorities they didn’t have any health or medical needs, a police report stated. Bear, a frightened puppy who got loose Saturday afternoon in New York City, somehow survived a daunting swim across the Hudson River to New Jersey and has been reunited with his grateful owners days later. The Leonberger Bernese mix was rescued by the Edgewater Fire Company around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday from beneath the Pier at Independence Harbor, officials and his owner said. Bear ran for a mile-and-half through the Upper West Side of Manhattan on Saturday before leaping into the river. One of New Jersey’s small-operator movie theater chains is expanding with the purchase of a historic building at the Jersey Shore. Town Square Entertainment has purchased the Moorlyn Theatre in Ocean City located at 837 Moorlyn Terr. “The Moorlyn has long been a dream project for us due to its incredibly rich history in serving Ocean City and surrounding community with entertainment since the early 1900′s,” the Facebook post read. The company has not announced its plans for renovating and reopening the theater yet. The local chain plans to restore the old building as its fourth movie theater in the area. Town Square Entertainment already operates Harbor Square Theatre in Stone Harbor, Tilton Square Theatre in Northfield and Ventnor Square Theatre in Ventnor.
