Tapes Used to Convict FLDS Leader Warren Jeffs Released

(NECN/KSTU, KSAN, Salt Lake Tribune) - A Texas court has released evidence used to convict Warren Jeffs of child sexual assault.

We want to warn you, the pictures and audio tapes of the polygamist sect leader and his young wives, can be disturbing.

Jeffs is heard on the tapes speaking to quorums of young girls. He prays with them, reads them revelations he claims are from God, and talks to them about how to please him. The recordings were made by Jeffs himself. The tapes were seized by law enforcement and used against him in court.

Jeffs is serving life, plus 20 years, in a Texas prison.

Ben Winslow has the story.
