Jury hears tapes of polygamist discussing sex

By WILL WEISSERT - Associated Press

San ANGELO, Texas (AP) — Prosecutors played two audio recordings Tuesday of a polygamist sect leader instructing his 14-year-old "spiritual wife" and several other young women on how to please him sexually, and thus win favor with God.

Warren Jeffs, 55, is head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which believes polygamy brings exaltation in heaven. He is accused of sexually assaulting two girls, ages 12 and 15, he took as brides in what his church calls "spiritual marriages."

A forensic analyst testified Monday that Jeffs was the father of the 15-year-old's child. On Tuesday, prosecutors played a tape of Jeffs talking to the girl when she was 14, after Texas Ranger Nick Hanna testified about documents and electronic files seized during a 2008 police raid at the church's remote compound in West Texas.

The Associated Press generally does not identify victims of sexual crimes.

Among the materials recovered during the raid was a record of Jeffs' marriage "for time and all eternity" with the 14-year-old in January 2004. An excerpt from hundreds of pages of Jeffs' personal journals said the child was "pure and innocent and willing to obey" and that he summoned her parents and "informed them of their girl belonging to me."

Just wondering if Warren Jeffs and Naomi didn't break one of his laws by dressing in jeans and shorts...

I think he said you can do what you need to do to baffle ‘gentiles.’

Texas AG Greg Abbott is in the Courtroom.

When asked if he had another witness Warren Jeff's refused to answer.

Judge Walther called for closing arguments - limited to 30 minutes.

#WarrenJeffs asks for continuance, saying hasn't had time to prep. Denied. Judge says she “warned him” about repp’ing himself.

Jury should get the case today.

Just a couple of days ago, it was brought to my attention that a man by the name of Robert Morrow, who turns out to be a Ron Paul supporter was sending e-mails into Iowa to assassinate the character of Rick Perry.

Morrow says:

"The Worst thing Rick Perry ever did: the 2008 raid on the FLDS: Peaceful, religious home schoolers.

Rick Perry is a religious bigot and he proved it in 2008 when he supported an out of control Child Protective Services when they raided the peaceful, religious FLDS Mormon community in El Dorado based on a hoax phone call from a disturbed woman, Rozita Swinton, in Colorado. If you are a conservative Christian, perhaps a home schooler, you should be extremely concerned about the religious oppression of the FLDS and Rick Perry's gung ho support for that.

Out of all the things Rick Perry has done, the attack on the FLDS families - with all the tears, trauma and family destruction that caused - this has to be one of the most disturbing if not the most disturbing.

Rick Perry and Texas CPS were targeting the FLDS and looking for an excuse to attack them. Hoaxer Rozita Swinton made a crank phone call, alleging one case of child abuse, on 3/29/08. By April 3, 2008, Rick Perry had ordered the entire FLDS community surrounded by police armed with automatic weapons, SWAT teams with snipers, helicopters and even an M113 armored personnel carrier.

It is worth repeating, that all of this criminal state persecution, was based on one crank phone call from a crazy lady in Colorado, Rozita Swinton, who was pretending to be a child abuse victim. So obviously, Perry and an out of control CPS were targeting the FLDS. Then they invaded this peaceful, religious home schooler community and ripped away 438 childen from dozens of families who had committed no crime at all.

Imagine a fascist, totalitarian government coming into your household and ripping away YOUR kids based on one crank, hoax phone call. That is exactly what happened to those FLDS families in 2008 and Rick Perry supported that move long after it was revealed that a crank phone call complaint from a crazy woman in Colorado was the basis for the invasion. And even if that ONE complaint had been legitimate, what kind of a fascist, totalitarian government would come in there and remove FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY EIGHT children from dozens of families?

As of now, 438 of the 438 children who were taken are back with their parents, which just shows how weak the CPS case was and proves that the real motive for this raid was governmental religious oppression. The FLDS had been watched and targeted by the government who was just looking for an excuse to move in and destroy their lives.

If you are a home schooler or a conservative Christian or you just believe in freedom and "live and let live" you should be extremely concerned at the state sponsored gross miscarriage of justice that happened to these FLDS families."

Yup, sounds like Perry is really dangerous.

That sounds EXACTLY like what a lot of FReepers were saying about the case, at the time.

I wonder what Morrow’s FR handle is.......

Well, it does mention “an M113 armored personnel carrier.” but since it’s not being misrepresented as a *tank* I’d have to agree with you.

It’s funny (ironic I guess) how it sort of grew. But this is sort of the full circle thing, since the FLDS case is what got me on board.

That man is a fanatic Pauler. Had my husband angrier than I’ve ever seen him when RM called me “ignorant” at the Straw Poll in Dallas in 2007.
He and his cohorts tried to stage a coup in their Republican County/Senate District Convention in 2008 and succeeded in another.
