From Deseret News archives:
Search warrant accuses Jeffs of more child-bride marriages
"Warren Jeffs sexually assaulted a 12-year-old child ... on or about July 27, 2006, in Schleicher County, Texas," Kingman, Ariz., police officer Dennis Gilbert wrote in the warrant.
A copy of the warrant was obtained by the Deseret News on Friday. The warrant's affidavit was co-signed by David L. Boatright, the chief of the criminal investigations division for the Texas Attorney General's Office.
A DNA sample was collected from Jeffs at the Mohave County Jail in Kingman, Ariz., on Thursday. It included a pair of cheek swabs and digital photos of the process.
DNA samples were collected from 603 adults and children involved on the raid at the YFZ Ranch to determine parentage, but the Texas Attorney General's Office said Jeffs' sample is not related to the custody case.
"That was related to the criminal procedures," attorney general spokeswoman Janece Rolfe said of Jeffs' sample. "That's a separate process."
A criminal investigation into abuses at the FLDS property has been quietly progressing at the same time the CPS case has imploded.
"Upon review of the marital records, also referred to as Bishop's Records, by investigators, said records reveal that Warren Jeffs married (name removed) at age 14, on or about January 18, 2004, in Utah," Gilbert wrote.
Investigators said the records and photos also provided evidence that in October, another girl gave birth to a child believed to have been fathered by Jeffs. At the time of conception, police said the girl was approximately 15 years old.
"The two are depicted at the birth of their child," Gilbert wrote. "In said photograph (name removed) is seen with Jeffs holding a newborn child wrapped in a blanket."
Law enforcement claims that Bishop's Records show a July 2006 marriage between a 12-year-old girl and Jeffs. Photos matching the marriage date were put into courtroom evidence in a custody battle here in Texas involving a baby born to a couple who lived at the YFZ Ranch.
The photos showed Jeffs cradling the girl and kissing her in a manner that Texas child welfare authorities described as "how a husband kisses a wife."
"Affiant has learned from investigators that Warren Jeffs 'married' two other children at the YFZ Ranch in addition to his purported marriage to (named removed) and (name removed)," Gilbert wrote.
