Arizona man with 20 wives tried to marry his 9-year-old daughter

The FBI is accusing a 46-year-old Arizona alleged polygamist cult leader of having 20 wives, many of whom were underage.

The man is also accused of trying to marry his 9-year-old daughter.

The wives were allegedly trafficked across state lines in a trailer, forced to use a bucket as a toilet — while the man drove two Bentleys.

Samuel Rappylee Bateman — as well as his coconspirators and aiders and abettors — is accused of engaging in the transportation of minors in interstate commerce to engage in criminal sexual activity and travel interstate commerce to engage in illicit sexual conduct with minors, between May 2020 and November 2021, between Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Nebraska.

He was first indicted by a federal grand jury on Sept. 6.
