In a prepared statement, Goddard and Shurtleff said they were grateful for Reid to hear their concerns about polygamy in Colorado City, Arizona, Hildale, Utah, but Reid’s comments were “manifestly without full information on significant progress “made the two countries in recent years.
“Over the past five years, we have convened meetings of Utah, Arizona and the criminal prosecution authorities, public authorities and local service agencies, advocacy groups and members of the community to find better opportunities for the protection of victims of domestic violence and child abuse, “the letter said. “We learned that aufsuchende and support of victims, barriers only in the polygamous community geographical isolation, historical disputes with the government, transport trade barriers, lack of access to services and the right of victims to assistance. ”
The letter also noted that both countries have laws on child bigamy “prosecution of criminal offences, including plural marriages of minors to much older men.

In this week, “said Shurtleff DESERET message that the yearning for Zion sect” is not in Texas, if we are not Kick them out of Utah “and called Reid’s comments” totally false “and” ignorant “. Shurtleff, furthermore, Nevada, polygamy has problems and that the leader Warren Jeffs polygamy, child marriages married “in Nevada, the daily.
