Headers sect convicted of polygamy

A Canadian court has two sectarians who had separated themselves from the Mormon church convicted of polygamy.

The 61-year-old Blackmore was married to 24 women between 1990 and 2014 and had 146 children. The 53-year-old Oler would have had a marital relationship between five and females between 1993 and 2009. Unclear is how many children he has.

The sect had separated from the Mormon church. For a long time, Blackmore and Oler mentioned bishops of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but after that church had swept polygamy, Blackmore and their backs returned and began a settlement in the village of Bountiful.
