If nuclear war doesn’t begin next Thursday, June 12, as he has predicted, self-proclaimed Texas prophet Yisrayl “Buffalo Bill” Hawkins will be left to face a widening investigation of his activities, including several felony counts of bigamy.

“When you’re violating the law, then you can’t hide behind that religious shield and you’re gonna be held accountable,” said Shane Deel, the district attorney in Callahan County, Texas, who has filed the criminal counts against Hawkins.

Hawkins, 73, the founder of the House of Yahweh religion, located on a 44-acre tract outside Abilene, has been charged with helping others become bigamists, and bigamy himself.

There are allegations he has as many as 30 wives, according to Deel.

“I’ve got a wife, one wife,” Hawkins said in an interview broadcast on 20/20 Friday.
