Girls in polygamous Kingston Group continue to marry as young as 15, records show, sometimes leaving Utah to marry cousins

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Jessica Kingston was wed at age 16 in what she says was a marriage she felt pressured into by her parents and others in a polygamous sect. By 18, she was pregnant with her first child and ended up having four children in four years. She's since left the marriage and wants the legal marriage age raised to 18.
