Child trafficking trial a lead up to polygamy charges

Regardless of the verdict in removal of child from Canada trial, two Bountiful members will be back in court on polygamy charges in April.

For the last few weeks, Cranbrook’s Supreme Court has been in session with the trial of three members of the polygamous community of Bountiful.

The three, Brandon Blackmore, Emily Ruth Gail Blackmore and James Oler were charged with alleged child trafficking offences that originated in 2004 by shipping their own daughters across the border to be married to men in the U.S.
