Warren Jeffs Has Around 80 Young Wives
In 2011, the Daily Mail released a harrowing image of 50 of Jeff’s wives posed as if they’re taking a yearbook photo. Even though you can’t see their faces up close, most of these women don’t appear to be older than teenagers.
When Jeffs was sentenced to life in prison (plus 20 years) for his egregious assaults against children, Assistant Texas Attorney General Eric Nichols spoke out about Jeffs’ affinity for young brides. “Mr. Jeffs had his big house, where he chose to warehouse hundreds of girls and women for his sexual gratification. The state of Texas has a big house too, and that is where Warren Jeffs should spend the rest of his days,” he said.
