Be on the lookout Bountiful. Notice what I highlighted in bold below (and then pay attention to the following sentence). For a large majority of people, the “news” becomes established fact, and people will tend to cling to those “facts” even if later, contradictory information is presented to them. Such is the mind of man.

The April 3 police raid of a polygamist compound in West Texas, which has mushroomed into the largest child abuse investigation in the nation’s history, has unnerved polygamists across the country and into Canada. There, authorities have long wanted to halt the rituals of plural marriages and underage sex in Bountiful, British Columbia.

“Clearly, they know that the spotlight is on them,” Wally Oppal, the province’s attorney general, said of the approximately 3,000 residents of Bountiful, near the American border and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

Oppal said that for 25 years, law enforcement and justice officials in Canada have wanted to put a stop to certain activities in Bountiful, a community of reclusive residents without a store or a restaurant.

“We hear of events that are said to be taking place that involves the scenario of 55-year-old men marrying 15-year-old girls,” he said.

But authorities have hit roadblocks over the years because of the refusal of Bountiful girls to accuse the older men of any wrongdoing. In fact, Oppal said, the girls nearly always claim to be the aggressors, or “pursuers,” of romantic relationships with the men.
