Warren Jeffs Accused Of Incest By His Children
Warren Jeffs raped his children, according to claims of incest cast by the leader of the polygamy group. Roy Jeffs and his sister, Becky Jeffs, now both adults, claim their father and prophet sexually molested children. Jeffs is serving a life sentence for sexually molesting young girls, but may still be running the polygamy compound from behind bars.
While serving as the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) Warren Jeffs allegedly went into the rooms of his daughters at night and sexually molested the little girls. Becky Jeffs made the incest accusations during an episode on the CNN series, This is Life with Lisa Ling. The show airs tonight on the cable news network.

Becky told Lisa Ling that when her sister first told her that she was being sexually molested by their father, she realized for the first time that she was not the only sibling to be raped by Warren Jeffs.
“I thought, I’m not the only one molested, he’s done it to her it must be something that was in his nature,” Becky Jeffs said. “Where does it end? If he had this in him, how can I trust him? How is he really our prophet?”

Becky and Roy Jeffs are two of the four Jeffs’ children who have left the FLDS Yearning For Zion Ranch. The polygamy compound is located in the twin cities of Colorado City, Arizona, and Hildale, Utah.

Warren Jeffs is reportedly known to have fathered 60 children with his estimated 78 wives. The FLDS prophet began serving a sentence of life plus 20 years after being convicted for the aggravated sexual assault of both a 12-year-old and a 15-year-old girl, which Jeffs claimed were his “spiritual wives.” He will be eligible for parole in 2038, when he will be an 83-year-old man.

The FLDS Yearning for Zion Ranch community is home to an estimated 10,000 people, the Daily Mail reports. Roy and Becky Jeffs claim that in addition to sexually molesting his own children, their father raped “countless” other children on the polygamy compound.
When asked by Lisa Ling how many children Jeffs molested on the FLDS compound, Becky said the following.
“I don’t know? Some times I think ten, twenty. I hope it’s not more than that.”
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, FLDS members were evicted from Yearning for Zion Ranch in December, 2014. The state of Utah took control of the Hildale compound after Jeffs was sent to prison. Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints leaders at the polygamous compound reportedly told the residents not to pay the government the $100 monthly occupancy fee, which was mandated after the conviction of the group’s prophet.
The polygamist leader’s diary was discovered after his conviction and is believed to offer insight into both his thoughts and actions. Graphic photos of a bed allegedly custom-made for Jeffs was allegedly used by the leader to sleep with his teenage wives.
The massive bed was made of hardwood, to “prevent rattling,” and was covered with a plastic sheet to protect the mattress, according to Radar Online. Details about the custom-made bed became public when passages were read aloud during a property seizure hearing. The diary reportedly contained a detailed accountings of Jeffs’ life from 2002 to 2006, according to the Houston Chronicle.
