Samuel Bateman, a polygamous sect leader, is convicted on state child abuse charges in Arizona after three girls are found inside an unventilated cargo trailer he is hauling. Multiple outlets report that police stop Bateman while he is driving through Flagstaff and discover the girls inside the trailer. The girls are described as being between 11 and 14 years old at the time. The trailer is reported to be enclosed and lacking proper ventilation, with improvised or makeshift items inside, including references to a makeshift toilet and seating/camping items. Media accounts also state that someone alerts authorities in 2022 after seeing small fingers through gaps in the trailer doors. At the time of this conviction, Bateman is already serving a 50-year prison sentence in federal custody related to child sexual abuse, including orchestration of sex involving children. The new conviction is described as occurring on state charges after the 2022 tip and subsequent police stop.
