James Oler
James Oler is the bishop of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS Church) in Canada, and a practicing polygamist.[1][2] The polygamy case brought against Oler is considered "the first major test of Canada's polygamy law."[3]
FLDS schism in Canada
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. James Oler is the current bishop of the Canadian FLDS, who are centered in Bountiful, British Columbia, Canada.[4] In 2002, Winston Blackmore was excommunicated from the FLDS, and the community of Bountiful, where most members live, divided between Blackmore and Warren Jeffs.[2] Following this schism, Jeffs appointed Oler as the new bishop.[5]
Polygamy trial in Canada
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Oler and Winston Blackmore were arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in January 2009 and charged with polygamy.[6] The charges were thrown out later, owing to questions about how the Crown selected its prosecutors.[6] On 23 September 2009, "Criminal polygamy charges against Winston Blackmore and Oler are thrown out by B.C. Supreme Court Judge Sunni Stromberg-Stein."[1]
