Originally, the four faced charges of kidnapping and destruction of evidence in a federal investigation.

Indictment: Read the 56-page redacted second superseding indictmentīateman had been charged in December, along with Naomi Bistline, Donnae Barlow and Moretta Johnson, all of whom Bateman claimed to be his wives. The new indictment revealed stories of Bateman coercing little girls to have sex with him and other adults, trading nights with girls for luxury Bentley cars, coercing children into participating in live-streamed group sex acts and transporting across state lines the girls for sexual trade. The new accusations rely, in part, on Bateman's own writings and remarks from some of the girls, according to documents filed in U.S. The latest court filings, naming 11 defendants, show the scope of the case has widened and the allegations have grown more serious. Attorney's Office for Arizona now accuses Bateman, the self-proclaimed prophet of a splinter group of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and 10 others of causing sexual harm to nine girls whose ages ranged from 9 to 17 at the time the alleged offenses took place.įederal prosecutors filed the extensive indictment on May 18, replacing a more limited one against Bateman and three followers.


PHOENIX - Lurid new details have emerged from a new 53-felony-count federal indictment against an Arizona-based polygamist fundamentalist cult and its leader, Samuel Bateman. Album DescriptionWatch Video: Today in History for May 26th See More Your browser does not support the audio element. While Night Call builds nicely upon Years & Years' indie electronic roots, it primarily feels like a new beginning for Alexander as he boldly embraces his pop future. (Jesse Ware, Dua Lipa, BUNT.), and Swedish duo Galantis, the latter of whom also guest on the uplifting house anthem "Sweet Talker." Other cuts like "Starstruck" and "Crave" are shimmering dancefloor shakers that bring to mind Alexander's past collaborations with pop legends like Kylie Minogue and Pet Shop Boys. Helping him make this transition are a handful of like-minded writers and producers (several who've worked with Years & Years before), including Mark Ralph (Gracey, Marina, Clean Bandit), Clarence Coffee, Jr. While there's certainly a more direct pop quality to Alexander's work here, the album is no less finely attuned than his past work. It's a frothy, throw-back aesthetic that fits perfectly with Alexander's charismatic persona and highly resonant vocal style even as it is admittedly a stylistic shift away from the arty electronica that helped win the group a BBC Sound of 2015 award. The result is a diamond-sharp production rife with disco-hot bangers that evoke the classic work of artists like Giorgio Moroder, Michael Jackson, and the Real McCoy. Amiably citing creative differences that grew more apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns, the trio split in 2021, purportedly scrapping a finished album and paving the way for Alexander to push forward on his own. The third album from England's Years & Years, 2022's sleek and hooky Night Call, is singer Olly Alexander's first production since the departure of founding members Mikey Goldsworthy and Emre Türkmen.
