Convicted bigamist faces parole hearing

DRAPER, Utah, July 18 (UPI) -- Officials held a special parole hearing at Utah State Prison on the upcoming release of convicted bigamist Tom Green, it was reported Wednesday.

Utah Adult Probation and Parole agents are concerned that Green will continue living with his four wives after he is released Aug. 7. The hearing was scheduled to determine if he should receive additional parole terms, The Deseret Morning News reported.

A five-member parole board heard Tuesday from both sides in the matter before convening for review. Green said he would only be living with one of his wives once he is released, and seemed to welcome any additional terms, the newspaper said.

"Whatever restrictions I'm placed under when I leave will be nothing compared to the restrictions I've had for six years," he said.

Green was imprisoned in 2001 after being convicted of bigamy, rape and failure to pay child support.

The rape charge stemmed from a previous marriage to a 13-year-old girl, the newspaper said.
