Mound, MN (The Weekly Vice) - James Wallace Fall, a 58-year-old Mound man was jailed after he allegedly married his niece, who was 10 years old at the time.
According to the Mound Police Department, Fall married his niece during a summer vacation at Yellowstone National Park in 2001.
Investigators say Fall alternated sleeping arrangements - sleeping with the child and his previous wife, 49-year-old Rosemary Fall.
The marriage reportedly continued for nine years until Fall's niece, who is now 19, turned him in to police.
The woman told investigators that her uncle threatened to kick her and her two brothers out of his home unless she went along with the marriage.
Fall reportedly told police that the girl's aunt knew of the arrangement and did nothing to stop it. She has also been charged in the case.
Police say they were previously called to the home on abuse allegations, but Fall's niece and his wife denied the claims.
Fall, who claims that he is a "prophet of God", told investigators that it was God's will that he marry his niece, citing biblical scripture as justification for the act.
Fall was booked into the Hennepin County Jail and charged with sexual abuse. He remains jailed, awaiting trial. His attorney will ask the court to evaluate his health.
Police are also investigating a possible murder and fraud allegations involving Fall. Investigators believe that Fall may have poisoned his brother-in-law, Phillip Johnson, 10 years ago.

go ahead and shoot him now instead of paying for his upkeep in prison
Why do a lot of perverts try to use religion to justify themselves?
I Totally agree, Hotrod. Shoot him now, it must be God's will. I am sure we can find some scripture to back it up....
where were her parents? poor kid. what a sicko
Oh sure use the bible for an excuse
GET REAL A***HOLE
wtf is up with that dude's one white glassy eye?
eye of the molester...
"where were her parents? poor kid. what a sicko"
Well anon from the story it seem he might have poisoned the father.
Living where I do lots of "religious" folks seem to think its OK to marry little girls. Their supreme leader Warren Jeffs is currently wending his way through the courts on multiple counts of kiddie rape. Hope he gets raped in prison.
"His attorney will ask the court to evaluate his health.
Sooooo.... I take it the attorney is not buying the prophet of god story either.
I sure hope the soap takes a “Fall” in the shower everyday that he is in prison.
Is it me or is there something rather "reptillian" looking about that left eye of his?
It would certainly be fitting.
It's time scum like this was strung up from the closest tree rather than be fed by the taxpayers for a few years and turned loose to do it all again.
