An Abilene area man was recently found guilty by a jury of aggravated sexual assault of a child. The man was the leader of a local sect and was a self-proclaimed prophet and had many wives and children. He had persuaded many of his followers to change their last names to match his own. The charges arose when the Abilene man used gynecologist tools to inspect an 11 year old for cervical cancer. Many witnesses testified that the man had no medical training and was not qualified to conduct such a test. The man could be facing a life sentence for this crime, and he still has other charges pending against him.
