Talk by Sam Brower author of "Prophet's Prey: My Seven-Year Investigation into Warren Jeffs and the Fundamentalist Church of Latter-Day Saints" given November 17, 2011 at University Temple United Methodist Church in Seattle, WA
Why is it OK for two Utah judges to listen to clear evidence of child rape and the seal the tape - rather than take action to protect the children? Why is their responsibility to act not at least as great as a Penn State coach?
Also - abusing one's authority to force someone to marry against their will should be illegal. That would give prosecutors a crucial tool to prevent some of the worst abuses. Coerced child marriage needs to be outlawed as well.
I'm glad he mentioned that in addition to being bad for women, polygamy is also bad for most men/boys for whom there are/will be no brides and hence no place for them in society.

A torturous death would be too good for Jeffs.
