Warren Jeffs’ Conviction Reversed
How’s this for a bunch of asshats? The Supreme Court of the state of Utah has reversed the convictions of polygamist child molester Warren Jeffs and ordered a new trial. Jeffs, who I have written about before, was convicted in 2007 by a jury in Utah of two counts of rape as an accomplice for [...]
Warrants Served at Polygamist Ranch
Updated 4-5-08 5:25 p.m. CNN is reporting that they have now removed 183 people from the ranch, including 137 children. Authorities are saying that there is evidence of possible abuse and they have to make sure the kids are alright. They are still searching the compound and at least one suspect is being sought by [...]
Pedophiles and the FLDS
There is a somewhat interesting discussion going on at the post I put up yesterday about the FLDS. It has to do with the government interfering with religion, which is actually a constitutional issue and putting the safety of people that can’t fend for themselves over other people’s rights. Don’t get me wrong here. Number [...]
FLDS Polygamy Ranch Sealed
More and more details are coming out from the investigation into the Texas compound where several hundred members of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints have lived. Authorities are starting to release details of some of the accusations of sexual abuse that brought it under Federal investigation. All in all, 416 children have been [...]
State of Texas a Danger to Children?
The mothers of all children five and older were separated from them on Monday. FLDS members say that the mothers returned to the compound but child protective services is saying that six women had gone to the safe house. They also moved the kids to a larger place, the San Angelo Coliseum.
Half of FLDS Girls Pregnant!
Actually the number is 31. Out of the 463 children that the government of Texas removed from the FLDS ranch in Eldorado 53 of them were girls between the ages of 14 and 17. 31 of those 53 girls either already have children or are pregnant. That’s 58% of the girls. I’ve seen a [...]
21 Wives?
Damn. This dude must be on prozac to have 21 wives. Of course the nice pliable women of the FLDS don’t have an original thought in their head so I guess Wendell Loy Nielsen doesn’t any issues with it. In addition to his 21 wives he has 36 children ranging in age from 6 months [...]
Texas had no right to take polygamists’ children
Image via Wikipedia I sort of figured it would start to pan out this way. Earlier today a three judge court of appeals ruled that the State of Texas had no right to remove children from the Yearning for Zion ranch belonging to the FLDS because it in no way proved that they were in [...]
CPS = Baby Stealers?
A few days ago I posted about Pamela Jessop and what has happened with her since the FLDS Yearning for Zion Ranch was raided by Child Protective Services in cooperation with officers of the law. She’s the girl who recently had a hearing in which CPS admitted that they had incorrectly placed her in foster [...]
Age of pregnant FLDS ‘girls’ disputed
So the State of Texas has figured out that two of the girls that they have in custody that have given birth while in custody are actually adults. One of the girls is 22 years old and said that she showed state officials a Utah birth certificate to prove it. They held her in custody [...]
