2 Christian sect leaders face more charges in New Mexico

GRANTS, N.M. — Two leaders of a paramilitary religious sect with anti-Semitic leanings and rocked by child sexual abuse allegations are facing new charges.

Deborah and James Green, leaders of the Aggressive Christian Mission Training Corps in western New Mexico, are facing new charges of tampering with evidence and conspiracy to commit tampering with evidence, the Gallup Independent reports .

Those charges were added to the 18 filed against each of the Greens, alleging kidnapping and child abuse, among others. The new charges allege the Greens attempted to hide children after a raid of their commune by sheriff’s deputies, and both conspired with another person to commit tampering with evidence.

The married couple has said they’ve done nothing wrong.

Last year, authorities raided the sect’s secluded Fence Lake, New Mexico, compound over concerns of child abuse. The Cibola County Sheriff’s Office began an investigation after 13-year-old Enoch Miller died from a probable infectious disease.

Did she get all dressed up just for the arrest or does she always go around like that?

the photo is worth one thousand words. The only critique that I have is that she only has two stars. If her husband has four stars, then who the heck has three stars?
