A New Zealand detective describes the moment of arresting a polygamous sect leader convicted of child sexual abuse, in a detailed account published by Stuff.co.nz. The detective recounts years of investigation into abuse within a fundamentalist Mormon community.

The article details how victims came forward and how law enforcement built a case against the leader, who used religious authority to control multiple families. The investigation required overcoming victims' fears of breaking with their community.

The convicted leader headed a polygamous group not affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The case drew national attention in New Zealand for exposing abuse within insular religious communities.
