| A former religious leader in Canada has been found guilty of polygamy after marrying more than two dozen women over the course of 25 years.
Winston Blackmore, 61, was charged with practicing plural or 'celestial' marriage in the fundamentalist community of Bountiful, BC after he married 25 women. Blackmore has fathered more than 145 children from his marriages.
It was Winston's ex wife, Jane Blackmore, that brought him down.
According to CBCNews Jane said in court Winston had told her he was 'only doing what God told him to do,' in having multiple wives.
