Polygamy czar is an informal title given to the "Investigator of Crimes within Closed Societies" for the Utah Attorney General's Office.
Ron Barton, Utah's first polygamy czar, contributed to the prosecutions of polygamists Rodney Holm and Tom Green on child rape and bigamy charges.
[2] After Barton, Jim Hill took over as the "Polygamy Czar", continuing investigations into crimes in polygamous communities.
In Utah, prosecutions for polygamy per se depend on the circumstances of each case, ranging from an infraction with a relatively small fine,[3][4][5] up to a felony.
[6][5] A fictionalized polygamy czar was introduced in the HBO series Big Love in the episode "Affair."
