First Texas FLDS Member Sent to Jail

Prophet Jeffs and one of his many brides in a creepy photo introduced as evidence in court last year in an FLDS custody case
Jessop's conviction was based on a sexual assault charge related to his "spiritual marriage" to an underage FLDS member, allegedly a daughter of the group's imprisoned prophet Warren Jeffs; Jessop still faces trial on a charge of bigamy. Jessop's lawyers told reporters they would appeal the charge, challenging the search warrants that provided the government with documentary evidence they said proved the charges. Indeed, the warrants were obtained last spring based on a hoax phone call to officials where the caller claimed there was abuse happening at the sect's gated compound. As a result law enforcement raided the ranch and more than 400 children were removed from the property; the children were later returned to their families after two appeals courts ruled that the state had no cause to remove them.
