In some very good news, the kooky leader of the FDLS cult is going to be brought up on additional charges.
Via WOAI Radio in Texas:
Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ‘prophet’ Warren Jeffs was indicted on felony charges for a second time today in connection with the April raid on the FLDS compound in Schleicher County, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Jeffs was indicted on a second first degree felony county of aggravated sexual assault. Jeffs was indicted in July on charges of sexual assault of a child. Both are first degree felonies which carry punishment of up to 99 years in prison.
Jeffs, 53, is already in prison….in Utah…where is is serving a ten year sentence on charges of arranging an underaged marriage at an FLDS compound there. He is awaiting trial on similar charges in Arizona.
Three other FLDS members were also indicted on Wednesday. One if facing a felony charge of conducting an unlawful marriage ceremony involving a minor. A second was charged with thre counts of third degree bigamy. The third was charged with three bigamy counts and one county of tampering with physical evidence.
Let just say this, that while I was none too pleased about the handling of that raid on the Texas FLDS ranch in Texas; which had many people, like those over at WorldNetDaily.com and NewsWithViews.com freaking out. I am quite happy to see that this sick, demented piece of human waste is going to remain behind bars for a very long time.
While I am quite the advocate of freedom of Religion in this Country, when that Religion finds one at odds with the State and Federal laws in this country, something needs to change with that religion! Polygamy is a sick and disgusting practice, underage Polygamy is even worse, and I, for one, am happy that Warren Jeffs is going to be spending a very long time in a jail cell, where he cannot hurt anyone any longer.
Sorry, but I do not buy the whole persecuted Church people line. You don’t see the Government arresting Baptist Pastors for Polygamy, do you?
