Warren Jeffs is the president of the ‘Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints,’ also known as the ‘FLDS Church.’ The entire Christian community was perplexed after he was convicted of child molestation. After being held guilty on two counts of child sexual abuse, he was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2011. Born and raised in California, US, Warren belonged to a polygamist sect. His father had about 80 children from around 50 women he had married. In 2002, Warren attained the position of the counselor to the church leader, after the death of his father. The first accusation against him surfaced in 2004, when his nephew Brent Jeffs stated that Warren had a sexual encounter with him when former was a minor. A few of his other nephews then came ahead with similar accusations, which were very serious in nature. In 2006, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) embarked on a manhunt for him, after he was accused of getting underage girls married to his disciples. In 2006, he was finally arrested, and in 2011, he was sentenced to a life in prison plus 20 years. In jail, he went on a number of hunger strikes, which, the authorities said, were for spiritual reasons. Presently, he is serving his prison term in Texas.
