Focusing on the Latter Day Church of Christ, alternatively known as the Davis County Cooperative Society, the Kingston Group, or the Order - a polygamous LDS offshoot that came under fire in 1999, when a high ranking member was convicted of assaulting his 16-year-old daughter after she fled an arranged marriage to her uncle. Media coverage of this case exposed the secretive group's history of underage and incestuous marriage. As recently as 2022, the Kingston Group has faced lawsuits alleging continued sexual abuses and underaged marriages, along with financial fraud.
