John Coltharp, one of two men who traded daughters to be their wives and formed a doomsday group that prepared for a Muslim invasion of the United States, was sentenced this week to 26 years to life in prison.
Coltharp pleaded guilty in June in state court in Sanpete County to child bigamy and child sodomy charges. According to FOX 13, 6th District Judge Marvin Bagley on Wednesday ordered the sentences run consecutively, amounting to at least 26 years.
Judge Bagley asks Coltharp why he should sentence him to a concurrent or consecutive term.
