Polygamist jailed for rape of child ‘wife’

AN American polygamist has been sentenced to spend five years to life in prison for a child rape that occurred when he took a 13-year-old girl as his “spiritual” wife more than a dozen years ago.

It was the lightest possible sentence for raping a child. The judge said he could have set the minimum at 15 years in prison.

Before the sentencing, Tom Green cried as he told the judge he was wrong to have married Linda Kunz when she was so young.
