I, for one, would have clarified that he wouldn't have been a typical Mormon; the practice of polygamy was banned in the late 1800's so that Utah could become a state. There are several "Mormon" offshoot religions that still practice, but they are definitely the minority and are not recognized by the LDS church. A lot of people still think that plural marriage is still common here; I've been asked many times "Isn't that the place where men have two wives?" when I've told non-Utahns where I am from.
When I first read this post, I did assume it was a man in one of these offshoot groups, because there are quite a few scandals to this nature in these groups. It doesn't matter what faith the guy is...he's sick and deserves everything he gets.
