Cast of Polygamy Players
Safety Net Committee: This committee began in 2003. It holds monthly meetings in Salt Lake City, St. George, Colorado City, and Creston, BC, Canada. Government Agencies, non-profits and interested individuals work together to insure that people associated with polygamy have the same educational opportunities, and access to justice, safety and services as the general public. Their original goals are to provide training and develop materials for public awareness; reduce isolation, secrecy, abuses of power and crime; and find ways to provide access and education to members of polygamous communities. They produced “The Primer” for government agencies.
Tom Green: a fundamental Mormon and practicing polygamist in Utah who was convicted in 2001 of bigamy, failure to pay child support/welfare fraud, and in 2002 of child rape (underage wife). In the 1980s, while in his thirties, Green left the LDS Church, converted to Mormon fundamentalism, and became a polygamist.. He was to eventually take seven wives. Tom Green’s publicity hungry ways have invited comparisons to the Brown family. He was released from prison in 2007.
