It's about time they caught him. Yes, I certainly hope that cult will fall apart. So many lives have been ruined by it. He needs to go to jail for a very long time and not be able to contact anyone on the outside. He is a very sick, misguided person.

i really do not care about polygamy. if that is your belief and the belief of the women involved so be it.
however Warren Jeffs forced under aged girls to marry older men.
this screams not of polygamy but of pedophilia.
i think that this world would be a better place if he had tried to resist and had to be shot on site. of course prison is not going to be a nice place for someone like him.
i do hope that the FLDS will crumble not because they believe in polygamy but because they are sick sexual perverts that knowingly marry 15 and 14 year old girls to 50 year old men. this is not religion. this is not polygamy this is forced marriage and rape.
even the girls involved have been brainwashed from birth. they seclude themselves from society so that their children never learn any better.

Im against polygamy, but he wasen`t arrested for that, he was arrested for his beliefs, they live in a small community which most believe like he does, when my parents were young, most girls were marrying at very young ages my grandmother wed at the age of 12 i believe, and the community that this man lives in believes that this is the time for them to marry, all he did was tell her the time was right for her to marry, and If im not mistaken she did marry the man, and they had been married a month, and still never has sex, and he told her this was part of being married, and he was arrested because they are saying he played a part in her being raped, but it was the man she marrie, and the preacher didn`t push her into it, he was just telling her it was suppose to happen, her parents were in the small town too, why aren`t they on trial for this too, they were as guilty as him, but they put him on the 10 most wanted list for this? now this was what I heard on the news last night, it may have changed today, im not sure.

I'm so glad that he's finally been caught! I don't think the FLDS' will crumble, unfortunately, there are too many ready to take Jeffs' place.

I'm against all things LDS but...
What's the big deal about this polygamy stuff anyway? Are they hurting you? The only thing they need to control is the underage bride stuff, other than that...whatever.
Hey, if some guy wants to support 25 wives and 72 children...who are we to judge? As long as our tax dollars aren't supporting them, let them do what they do.
But, Warren Jeffs and any other person involved with child brides need to go to jail.

I'm always amazed that so many people can be taken in by a guy that looks like he's a carpet salesman, or some bean counter.
You would expect so much more charisma. I'm glad he's caught, he sure didn't look too powerful yesterday.
I feel bad for all of his followers, they must be really lost to think he has any answers.

Who is Warren Jeff?

He should definitely be stopped. Marrying these young girls off to grown, old men. It's just predatory. The molestation of these young children is my only concern. As far as the adult women being in polygamist relationships, that's for them to decide. Don't know if they're being brain washed or what, but they're adults; let them fend for themselves.

Those people are freakin sick (the men in charge).
What happens on this planet in the name of religion or cult is frightening.
It's our public education system not teaching critical thinking skills, that is the problem.

As one of his former wives, I'm glad he was caught. I didn't like only getting it once a week and having to share him with 6 other women. A woman has needs you know!
