[D-fendr]

I’ve found out that Jeffs officiated at the wedding, and the girl had conversations and instruction from Jeffs afterward.

Here’s a copy of the warrant for his arrest:

Thanks. This clarifies a question from another poster regarding what it means to be an "accomplice" to rape. The warrant contains: "... acting with the required mental state, ... solicited, requested, commanded, encouraged, or intentionally aided another to commit..."

Assuming that the conviction followed directly from the charge in the warrant, this would appear to constitute the legal definition of being an accomplice.

At the link you supplied is another account of a male FLDS member who married a 16 year old but was only sentenced to 45 days. That's entirely inadequate to enforce the age of consent laws. People like Jeffs would be less of a problem if the other law-breakers were better held to account.

Such outcomes are similar to the joke we call the War on Some Drugs. Users get a handslap, whereas dealers can be sentenced to life. It makes the whole thing unenforceable.
