During a spring recess tour of the state, Hatch responded to questions from a St. George audience April 18 about why he wasn't doing more to stop the alleged ritualistic sexual abuse of young girls taken as brides in polygamous clans residing on the Utah-Arizona border. In a response applauded by polygamous leaders and blasted by anti-polygamy activists, Hatch responded: "I'm not here to justify polygamy. All I can say is, I know people in Hildale who are polygamists who are very fine people. You come and show me of evidence of children being abused there and I'll get involved."
