First, this SL Trib article [via the Religion News Blog] reports allegations against the disciplined FLDS member who held a news conference last week. But the quote from the FLDS Church attorney is really choice: "Chatwin's behavior was extremely inappropriate," said Rod Parker, attorney for the FLDS church. "When these people want to get married, they go to church leadership and discuss their desire to be married. When you have a guy like this trying to get them on his own, it's extremely inappropriate." Yes, highly inappropriate.
There is also an AP wire service story, summarizing much of what has gone on recently and suggesting there are other FLDS members who plan to come forward with their stories soon. The story features comments from a representative of Help the Child Brides, an organization providing assistance to those leaving polygamous communities and relationships. The personal stories posted on their site make interesting reading.
