If this does not work, I do not know.

O.K. Here is a brief statement of this item.

"The leader of an apocalyptic religious sect in northeastern New Mexico was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years in prison for sexual misconduct with teenage female followers.

Wayne Bent, 67, received the sentence for a conviction of criminal sexual contact of a minor and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Before being sentenced, Bent spoke to the court and maintained there had been no wrongdoing.

"No crime has been committed," Bent told the judge.

"Nobody has been molested," he said, adding that he had "never touched a girl sexually."

A jury earlier this month convicted Bent of the felonies for laying in bed with naked 14- and 16-year-old sisters in separate incidents in 2006.

Bent and the sisters testified the incidents were spiritual exercises and nothing happened sexually. The teens said Bent did not touch intimate areas, and Bent testified he had placed his hands on the sternums, but not the breasts, of the girls."

I will try to post brief statements onthe other posts as I have time.
