Unsettling Developments


  • This Fox News article briefly explains the plight of one women, Ruby Jessop, who fled the FLDS community and had just gained temporary custody over her children.  Her case sparked a criminal probe of the FLDS communities in AZ and UT, and of the Marshal's Office.
  • The Salt Lake Tribune article here tells us that Willie Jessop, former spokesman for the FLDS community who broke off from the sect when Warren Jeffs was arrested, bought Jeffs's compound for $3.6 million.  A tour through the huge house revealed an industrial-sized kitchen and eerily sound-proofed rooms, which are assumed to have been prepared for Jeffs to sexually exploit underage girls in.
  • This blog post highlights the financial aspect of the FLDS community, and how millions of tax payer dollars are going to the members of the Fundamentalist Mormon sect through welfare and grants.
