Warren Jeffs, the leader of the Fundamentalist Mormon church that
practises polygamy, is likely to spend the rest of his life behind bars
after he was given the maximum sentence for taking girls as young as 12 to
be his brides.
.

.
But a Texas jury took just 40 minutes to hand him the toughest sentence
open to them life in prison for aggravated sexual assault and 20 years in
prison for sexual assault of a child. The sentences followed Jeffs's
conviction last week on two counts relating to polygamist marriages with
girls aged 12 and 15.
.
The sentencing of Jeffs brings to an end the most high-profile prosecution
yet of a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints. The church, which has been based in Eldorado in west Texas since
2004, claims to be the genuine Mormon church adhering to the traditional
practice of polygamy, or plural marriage as it calls it.
.
The official Mormon church broke with the practice of polygamy in 1890
under pressure from the federal US government which made renouncing the
practice a condition of granting statehood to Utah.
.
The polygamist Mormons, under Jeffs's leadership, refused to renounce
plural marriages and now have about 10,000 followers. The jury heard that
Jeffs personally had about 78 wives, including 12 who he married at 16 and
12 who he married at 15 or younger.
