(KSL News) -- A Utah Congressman is joining in the call for the federal government to become more involved in prosecuting polygamy.
Representative Jim Matheson has released a statement saying he supports federal intervention because "crimes against children cannot be tolerated."
This comes on the heels of a letter from Nevada Senator Harry Reid to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, asking for a special federal probe into polygamy.
Other Utah Congressmen and Senators have said they have faith in state government to take on the issue.
