MT Sect Leader Waives Extradition On Rape Charge
(AP, August 24, 2010)

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) ― The leader of a Montana religious sect arrested last week in Wyoming has waived extradition to Utah, where he faces charges of raping a 15-year-old girl.

Terrill Dalton appeared in Hot Springs County Circuit Court in Thermopolis, Wyo., on Monday and agreed to return to Utah. Dalton's bail remained at $250,000.

Dalton surrendered to authorities last Thursday near Thermopolis, a day after federal agents arrested another church leader, Geody Harman, in Fromberg. Both men are accused of raping the same 15-year-old girl in Utah in 2005 or 2006.

The Church of the Firstborn and the General Assembly of Heaven moved to Fromberg from Idaho in September after claiming persecution. Church members fled to Idaho after federal agents raided their headquarters in Magna, Utah, in May 2009.
