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.

John R. Llewellyn, retired Salt Lake County Sheriff's Lieutenant, specialized in sex crime investigation that included polygamy complaints. He compiled an intelligence file on mass murderer Ervil LeBaron, who in 1977 ordered the death of Dr. Rulon C. Allred, leader of Utah's second largest polygamist group. In order to best combat and understand the polygamist, deputy Llewellyn studied Mormon doctrine and was converted to Mormonism, and then Mormon Fundamentalism. Impressed with the integrity, virtue and undaunted conviction of many of the polygamists, Llewellyn became a member of AUB, but when the leadership claimed they were the sole conduit to a celestial exaltation, Llewellyn left. Llewellyn is recognized as an expert on Mormon Fundamentalism and polygamy. He is also the lead investigator in a lawsuit against polygamist James D. Harmston and his True and Living Church, headquartered at Manti, Utah, as well as a consultant for the Attorney General's Office. John Llewellyn is uniquely qualified as a polygamy expert and can speak to the issues in a way no one else can. He is highly articulate and thoroughly knowledgeable about law enforcement polygamy strategies, government attitudes, and the vast issues inside and outside of polygamy. He knows all the leaders of polygamy groups, many of their members, and a multitude of polygamists who live outside a group.
