Warren Steed Jeffs (born 1956) is the self proclaimed Prophet, or speaker of God's will, of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS). Jeffs acquired the position of Prophet of the church after his father and former Prophet of the FLDS, Rulon Jeffs, died in September 2002. Jeffs has not been seen in public since 2004, and criminal charges were filed against him in 2005.

Role as leader of the FLDS

As Prophet and leader of the FLDS, Warren Jeffs has a considerable amount of control over members of the church. Jeffs is the sole individual in the church who can perform marriages, and is responsible for assigning wives to husbands. If on good terms with Jeffs, a member of the FLDS can be assigned more than one wife. Jeffs also has the ability to punish men by reassigning their wives, children, and homes to another man. 2

Until courts in Utah recently intervened, Jeffs controlled almost all of the land in Colorado City, Arizona, and Hildale, Utah, part of a church trust, the United Effort Plan (UEP), which is estimated to be worth over $100 million. Currently, all the assets of the UEP are in the custody of the Utah court system pending further litigation. In January 2004, Jeffs exhibited his power by expelling a group of 20 men from Colorado City, including the mayor ( 2 ), and reassigning their wives and children to other men.
Jeffs teaches that a man has to have at least three wives in order to get into heaven; former church members claim that he himself has seventy wives. :jawdrop: (Egan 2005)

Damn it! I swear I was almost going to write down "become a Prophet" in the "future aspirations" column of my university application. Screw law. Christianizing is the way to go.

Sex crime allegations

In June 2005, Warren Jeffs was charged with sexual assault on a minor, and with conspiracy to commit sexual conduct with a minor for arranging the marriage between a 16-year-old girl and a 28 year old man who was already married. The events allegedly occurred in 2002. He faces his charges in Mohave County, Arizona. In July 2005, the Arizona Attorney General's office distributed wanted posters offering $10,000 (just recently it has been put up to $50,000) for information leading to the arrest of Jeffs, who is considered a fugitive. Recently Jeffs was put on the FBI's most wanted fugitive list.
