据英国《每日邮报》3月31日报道,美国得克萨斯州地区法庭日前作出一项罕见的判决,一名拥有34位妻子的邪教领袖因重婚罪被判处10年监禁。

这名邪教领袖名叫温德尔·罗伊·尼尔森(Wendell Loy Nielsen),现年71岁,他信奉的“原教旨主义耶稣基督末世圣徒教会”是从摩门教分裂出来的邪教,奉行一夫多妻制,在北美大约有1万名信徒。摩门教已经宣布放弃一夫多妻制,并曾对这个邪教教派进行谴责。

尽管检察官称尼尔森拥有34位妻子,他仅因3项重婚罪被判处10年监禁和罚款1万美元(约合6.3万元人民币)。法学家称,重婚罪在美国一般很少被起诉,因此这样的判决十分罕见。

据悉,尼尔森不仅本人迎娶了34位妻子,还曾主持或参加了326次信徒的非法婚礼,这些婚礼上有50名新娘未满18岁,有的甚至仅有十二、三岁。



Crime: Authorities took 220 women and children from the The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints compound in 2008 after finding the underage girls forced into marriage





Leader: Warren Jeffs, seen in 2001, was found guilty last year of sexually assaulting two underage girls he had wed, presenting him with a life sentence plus 20 years





Additional crimes: Prosecutors accused Nielsen of also hiding Jeffs from police, as well as helping break up families and not seeking medical help for an underage teenager's pregnancy complications





Sentenced: Wendell Loy Nielsen, 71, previously pictured in court, received a 10-year prison sentence Friday for three counts of bigamy after prosecutors said he had 34 wives in all





Unlawful marriages: Prosecutors accused Nielsen of officiating or witnessing 326 unlawful marriages, 50 of which were to girls under age 18
