I think you are thinking of Warren Jeffs, but he is not a member of the LDS (Mormon) Church. Mormons DO NOT practice polygamy. Jeffs is a member of the FLDS Church, not the LDS Church. That "F" make a very big difference.

Mormons do not have priests, they have Bishops. Mormons do not practice polygamy, and haven't for over a hundred and fifty years. You are thinking of the perv Warren Jeffs, he is the leader of the FLDS church, the F standing for "Fundamentalist." Also, he isn't based or from Utah, their main temple is actually in Texas. The Mormon church isn't some small little polygamy practicing cult. Today, it has more than 13 million members worldwide and is currently growing at an average rate of about one million new members every three years.

Warren Jeffs
....although you should keep in mind that he isn't Mormon.
Mormons can't practice polygamy and stay mormons. It goes directly against the teachings of the church and will get you excommunicated.
Jeffs leads a group of several dozen people. The "Mormon" church has over 13 Million members.

Perhaps you are thinking of Warren Jeffs, the FLDS prophet.
