Description: The story of Moretta Johnson raises a difficult question: Can someone be both a victim and a perpetrator? Johnson, a child bride of FLDS cult leader Samuel Bateman, was sentenced for her role in the abduction of children from state custody. But at just 19, was she truly responsible for her actions鈥攐r was she simply following the only reality she had ever known? This case forces us to examine the disturbing ways cults shape their followers, turning the abused into abusers. How should the justice system handle young people who were raised in these coercive environments? Should they be punished as criminals, or rehabilitated as victims? 馃敂 Subscribe for more deep dives into the dark world of cults, true crime, and the justice system.
