The founder of an anti-polygamy group says she’s very satisfied with the outcome of a child bride case.
Two Bountiful residents are going to jail for taking their 13-year-old daughter across the border to be married.
Nancy Mereska of the Stop Polygamy in Canada movement says the sentence sends the right message.
Brandon Blackmore received a year in jail and Emily Ruth Gail Blackmore received seven months. Both were also sentenced to 18 months probation.

Mereska was once married to a mainstream Mormon with relatives in Bountiful.
Although she lives in Alberta she attended the entire trial in Cranbrook.
