Warren Jeffs made headlines in 2005 when he was charged with rape and sexual assault. This was the first of several charges that would eventually lead to his guilt. Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey is a four-part Netflix documentary on the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or FLDS, and the arrest of its leader, Warren Jeffs. The church’s prophet has been convicted of sexual assault of a minor after marrying teenage girls to older men and taking juvenile females as his wife.

Warren Jeffs, the son of Rulon Jeffs, the president of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or FLDS, was previously a counselor to the church leader. When his father died in 2002, Jeffs became Prophet and married all of Rulon’s widows except two.

In 2011, Warren Jeffs was sentenced to jail for sexual assault and other sexual acts, including arranging marriages between juveniles and older men. Moreover, during a raid on his facilities, evidence of minor ladies being sexually exploited was revealed.

Two of his children came to the front in 2015 to tell their stories about how Jeffs sexually assaulted them as children. His daughter, Rachel Jeffs, has come out to say that her father sexually raped her as a child. She remarked in an interview,

I mean, initially, displaying what a male looked like, Then, as a small child, he began sexually abusing me. And that went against all of his values.

Warren Jeffs: Prophet of Evil, an A & E documentary, was released in 2018. This is one of the many documentaries about him that have been produced. Jeffs is said to have had over 78 spouses, each of whom has given birth to multiple kids. Every man and woman in the cult was obligated to obey him as the spiritual leader. In the court hearing, there was a sex audiotape of one of his so-called pious sessions in which he had sex with a juvenile.

According to CNN, Jeffs was sentenced to life in prison plus 20 years, and according to Jerry Strickland of the Texas Attorney General’s office, he will have to serve 45 years in jail before he is eligible for release. The details of the sentencing may sound complicated to those unfamiliar with legal language, but CNN says that the sentence was divided into two parts: life in prison for the assault of a 12-year-old girl, and another 20 years for the assault of a 15-year-old girl.

According to the story, the judge ordered that the sentences be served consecutively and that Jeffs serve at least 35 years of the life sentence and half of the other penalty. So, while Jeffs could potentially spend less than his whole term, it’s unlikely that he’ll ever be seen on the streets again. According to CNN, prosecutor Eric Nichols claims that Jeffs exploited his position as the church’s leader to satisfy his wants and desires.

Warren is still alive and is serving a life sentence in Texas’ Louis C. Powledge Unit jail. He had a mental collapse in 2019, according to reports. According to the trust’s community lawyers, the trust has received information that Warren Jeffs has had a mental breakdown, and there appears to be a high likelihood that Warren Jeffs is not mentally competent to offer admissible testimony. As a result, Warren Jeffs is still serving his sentence in jail, with the possibility of parole in 2038.

Even though he is in prison, the remaining FLDS adherents estimated to number in the thousands, according to CNN appear to be following Jeffs and the people he selects. Despite this, the fact that he will almost certainly never be able to walk out of prison as a free man will hopefully bring some consolation to those whom he was convicted of abuse, as well as everyone else who has felt his influence in their lives.
