Warren Jeffs resigned as president of the FLDS in 2007 and appointed other members of his family to leadership positions. However, his followers continue to acknowledge him as the current living prophet, and reports suggest that he continues to exert significant influence over the FLDS community from prison. He is serving a life sentence in Texas following his 2011 conviction for aggravated sexual assault of a child, one of his nearly 80 spiritual wives, who was underage at the time of his religious marriage to her.
