SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- A Utah polygamist was released
from prison Tuesday after serving six years on a child rape
conviction for having sex with a 13-year-old girl who is now
his only legal wife.
Two of Tom Green's sons -- he has 32 children with 5 women --
picked him up from the Utah State Prison early Tuesday, said
Jack Ford, Department of Corrections spokesman.
Tom Green was convicted of child rape in 2001 for having sex
in 1986 with Linda Kunz, who was 13 at the time.
Green was to check in with his parole officer in Provo, Utah,
and then would be freed, Ford said.
"I look forward to return to life in society and to begin
carrying again the many responsibilities I have incurred,"
Green said in a statement.
Green said that his time in prison was a good learning
experience and that he was treated well. He said he
participated in lifestyle skills classes and therapy and
worked in the prison's gardening program.
The prison did have a problem accommodating visits from
Green's large family, Ford said. Green's relatives were
allowed to visit only if they came with his one legal wife,
Linda.
"We encourage family support; we don't encourage polygamy,"
Ford said.
Green, 59, was convicted in 2001 of child rape for having sex
in 1986 with Linda Kuhn, who was 13 at the time and became
his first wife.
Green was also convicted of bigamy, a charge resulting, in
part, from several appearances he made on TV talk shows
promoting polygamy. Green claimed four other wives whom he
married in religious ceremonies. He was also convicted of
criminal nonsupport for getting thousands of dollars in state
welfare payments to support his many children.
He was sentenced to 5 years to life in prison. Among the
conditions for his release are that Green complete counseling
and register as a sex offender.
