Brehl, who heard arguments in the dispute on March 5 and 6 in San Diego, also took the state Bureau of Gambling Control to task for its handling of the long-running licensing dispute. Lake Elsinore Casino’s current owners, who have been linked to a Utah polygamous sect accused of forcing teenage girls to marry and described by some as a hate group and an organized crime family, would be denied a permanent gaming license under an administrative law judge’s proposed ruling.īut the ruling, issued last month and made public this week, leaves open the possibility that casino co-owner Joseph Kingston could transfer his interest in the business to a cousin. Also, while some members of the group have been charged with tax fraud and money laundering, neither Ted Kingston nor Joseph Kingston were charged in that case. Ted Kingston’s attorney says Ted Kingston lives in Southern California with his long-time girlfriend and their children. CLARIFICATION: : Not everyone in the Kingston Group, a Utah-based offshoot of the mainstream Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, practices polygamy.
