Warren Jeffs was indicted in Arizona in 2005 for arranging a marriage between a 28-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl. In Utah he was convicted in 2007 of two counts of rape as an accomplice for arranging the forced marriage of a 14-year-old girl with her 19-year-old cousin, although that conviction was later overturned. In 2011 a Texas court convicted him of aggravated sexual assault of a child and sexual assault of a child involving two underage girls who were among his about 80 spiritual wives. He was sentenced to life in prison plus 20 years.
