Polygamy's Rape of Rachael Strong: Protected Environment for PredatorsAgreka Books, 2006 - 153 strani Rachael Strong was raped: By her polygamist prophet stepfather forty-five years her senior who claims he was only living his religion. By a published doctrine that warns: submit or be destroyed by God. By a Utah movement to decriminalize polygamy. By the new "political correctness." Was it incest? Was it rape? Was it extortion? Some call it simply a religious choice Rachael made. In 2006, the State of Utah is enacting policies that appear to be decriminalizing polygamy, and non-profit victims advocate Tapestry Against Polygamy has been asked not to use politically incorrect words like "victim" or "escape" or "brainwashed" or "cult." When well-educated, fashionably-dressed, articulate pro-polygamy women living comfortably as independents appeal to the public, and court the Attorney General, explaining how civilized polygamy really is after years of hearing about group-controlled polygamist women being downtrodden, poorly dressed, poorly educated, and ruled by their husbands people pay attention. Freedom of Religion is now headed to the Supreme Court. Will they consider the difference between "free-will" plural marriage and the human rights violations of "religious-coercive" polygamy? This book documents a recent case history of a Mormon Fundamentalist polygamist, who is a ruthless sexual predator. And he is not being prosecuted. |
