Shaffer., a onetime self-styled Utah prophet accused of secretly marrying young girls because of his beliefs in polygamy and doomsday, is pleading guilty to child rape and abuse charges after police raided his group's remote desert compound. The Spectrum newspaper reports Samuel Shaffer faces at least 25 years in prison after agreeing to the Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2018, plea deal in Iron County, where prosecutors said he abused an 8-year-old girl related to a group member.
