SALT LAKE CITY —
A judge sentenced a prominent polygamist Friday to up to 10 years in prison, the maximum sentence, for having sex with his 16-year-old niece.
District Judge David S. Young ordered David Ortell Kingston to serve two consecutive terms of up to five years each for incest and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.
Young also fined Kingston $10,000 and ordered him to pay court expenses. He was convicted June 3, after his niece testified that she became his 15th wife and that they had sex four times.
