Soon, however, Harrod drifted from the church and wrote his own scripture, borrowing liberally from Mormon and Jewish doctrine. "He was not in any way Mormon; he was just bastardizing these religions to justify the molestations," said prosecutor Chris Ore. He said the guilty verdicts will "open the eyes of people that there are dark parts of society where people do these things to kids." Harrod described himself as a prophet and adopted the biblical name "Isaac," requiring his children and wives to call him either Isaac or "Lord." Hunt bore him two sons and Ila Harrod bore him another boy. At the same time, two daughters testified, they were being required to perform oral sex upon their father at least weekly. The eldest girl described being sodomized at age 8, while her father pressed a pillow over her head to muffle her screams.Posted by stupefied
