	Polygamist Leader Convicted in Utah Associated Press, carried in Houston Chronicle September 25, 2007 http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/5163640.html St. George, Utah — The leader of a polygamous Mormon splinter group was convicted Tuesday of being an accomplice to rape for performing a marriage between a 19-year-old man and a 14-year-old girl. Warren Jeffs, 51, could get life in prison after a trial that threw a spotlight on a renegade community along the Arizona-Utah line where as many as 10,000 of Jeffs' followers practice plural marriage and revere him as a mighty prophet. Prosecutors said Jeffs forced the girl into marriage and sex against her will.
