Arizona, 5th December 2022: A man in America, who calls himself an apostle, has been revealed to have married 20 girls, including his daughter. The man has been identified as Samuel Rapelli Bateman (46). Many of the girls he married were under the age of 15, according to the FBI.

According to the FBI report, Samuel Rapelli Bateman declared himself an apostle in 2019. After that, he married 20 girls, including his daughter. Many of these girls are less than 15 years old. Meanwhile, after raiding his home in Colorado City, much evidence related to these marriages has come into the hands of the FBI. He has also been arrested by the FBI and is being held in an Arizona prison.

Earlier in September, Bateman was charged with trafficking minor girls. Police claimed he was transporting minor girls from Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Nebraska to other states. He was also arrested at that time. However, the court granted him bail. Meanwhile, the FBI has again arrested him on charges of sexual abuse.
