Raymond Merril Jessop, 36, is accused of assaulting a minor on or about Nov. 19, 2004 - which means the charge apparently is not related to his July 2006 marriage to Teresa Jeffs, the sect leader's daughter. She was 15 at the time.

Depends on what you mean by sanction.

“Technically bigamy is polygamy. I don’t think Texas has a polygamy statute per se.”

So that answers the question, yes?

And, yes, I meant Jesus’s execution in particular.

...not all of the couples in the YFZ community were polygamous...

Not yet? Why would anyone be a follower of the FLDS if they didn't believe what it teaches?

Men must have at least three wives in order to get to heaven. It's clearly logical to believe that those men who, at present, have only one wife, will "marry" at least two others eventually.

Too bad Jeffs “god” didn’t demand that HE keep sweet! This whole twisted cult would have benefited.
