The multiple pregnant minors are enough evidence of criminal acts and the coverup of those acts.
Have you seen these pregnant minors if so who got them pregnant, were the fathers also minors???

Smug, you’re missing an important point. Child abuse or not, polygamy is ILLEGAL. What part of “illegal” do you not understand?
But for the record, after seeing that interview, I think the reports are pretty close to the truth.

I have seen quite a few pictures of the kids being loaded into the buses to take them out of the compound and i did not see any young girls that looked pregnant.
I would of thought if there was the authorities would make sure the pictures of them getting loaded would of been everywhere.
If anyone saw any pictures that show this please post the picture of a link to it will stop a lot of fussing.

Have you seen these pregnant minors if so who got them pregnant, were the fathers also minors???I am flummoxed by your aggressive comments and defensivness for the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The criminal conviction of the FLDS prophet is telling. You never wrote your affiliation for FLDS; what is your connection? The white 150-pound child rapist, Warren Jeffs, should have an interesting prison stay.
Fundamentalist prophet Warren Jeffs sentenced for forcing teen to marry
- Jeffs, 51, was convicted of two counts of rape as an accomplice...
- A judge sentenced polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs to five years to life Tuesday for his role in the arranged marriage between a 14-year-old follower and her 19-year-old cousin.
- Sitting in jail awaiting trial, the leader (FLDS Prophet Warren Jeffs) of a polygamous sect renounced his role as a prophet and said he had been "immoral" with a sister and daughter decades ago, newly unsealed documents show.
Polygamist sentenced to 45 days for having sex with underage girl he married
- Kelly Fischer, the first of seven members of the Fundamentalist Latter-day Saints (FLDS) to be tried for plural marriages to minors
- a jury convicted Fischer last month of sexual contact with a minor and conspiracy for having sex with a 16-year-old.
- The sentence disappointed authorities in Kingman
Among Jeffs' possessions, a letter to his followers swearing them to secrecy
- Warren Jeffs was carrying a list of safe houses and a written decree banning members of his flock from disclosing his whereabouts
- FLDS members are in jail for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury
Warren Jeffs and the FLDS
- Rulon T. Jeffs, the group's prophet for the previous 15 years, died at the age of 92, leaving an estimated 75 widows and 65 children to mourn him.
- Spiritually close to 75 Ladies!
- The prophet is considered to be God's mouthpiece on earth
- A significant means of prophet power is derived from his ability to punish followers by reassigning their wives, children and homes to another man.
Man sues sect leader Warren Jeffs for information about family allegedly taken from him
- A lawsuit against the head of a polygamy-practicing church demands information about the family that a Wendell Musser contends was taken from him as punishment for his lack of faith.
- Musser was refused contact with his family and was later told that his wife and son had been assigned to a more worthy man in the church.

Newspapers often err and lawmen sometimes err...but this raid does not appear to be a mistake. Forced marriage of anyone especially minor girls must end.
Affidavit details temple bed, polygamist unions-USA TODAY
SAN ANGELO, Texas More allegations of abuse were revealed Wednesday in the case of a polygamist sect whose Texas ranch was home to hundreds of girls and children.
An affidavit unsealed by Texas State District Court Judge Barbara Walther said that officers had found records at the Yearning for Zion Ranch indicating one man had been married to more than 20 wives....
One resident said that one girl "has four children and
is under 16 years of age." The husband has two wives, and the mother of the four children does not even know her true age, according to the affidavit.
