Lu Ann Cooper, a survivor of the Kingston Group, a polygamist sect, has come forward with her story of abuse, including child labor, incest, and underage marriage. She was forced to work from age five and married her cousin at 15, escaping the group at 20 with her two daughters. Cooper's experiences are featured in A&E's upcoming docuseries "Secrets Of Polygamy," premiering January 8. Despite the challenges she faced after leaving, including disbelief from authorities and a lack of education, Cooper has rebuilt her life, becoming a successful realtor, public speaker, and founder of a non-profit to help others who have left polygamist groups. Her story highlights the ongoing issues within polygamist communities in America.
