Canadian with 24 women in court

A former Canadian bishop, was found guilty of polygamy.

The two sector leaders come from Bountiful, a small town in British Columbia with about 1, 500 inhabitants. The men have been fighting for decades with the Canadian authorities. Polygamy is forbidden in Canada, but in connection with their religion, the men find that they have the right to marry more women. The first investigation was launched in the 90's and there is a possibility that the suspects will also come to the Canadian Supreme Court with this case.

Blackmore has been a bishop for several years in the fundamentalist church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After being interviewed in 2002, he started his own sect.
