The Latter-day Church of Christ is a religious group.[1] This society claims to maintain the beliefs and teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with a few caveats. The primary difference is that they openly teach, encourage and participate in polygamy.

Plural marriages are practiced among the higher ranking men of the community and there have been numerous legal issues regarding this in the state of Utah. Most familiar of these are the civil cases against Kingston members for having polygamous relationships with members of their own extended family, including underage girls. For example, Kingston clan member Jeremy Ortell Kingston was sentenced to a year in prison in 2004 for having taken a 15 year old girl, LuAnn Kingston, who was both his cousin and his aunt, as his fourth wife in 1994.[2]
