Investigators report bed in polygamist temple used for sex
SAN ANGELO, Texas — Teenage girls, often younger than 16, were required to have sex in the soaring white temple after they were married in sect-recognized unions at a polygamist compound in West Texas, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.
The temple “contains an area where there is a bed where males over the age of 17 engage in sexual activity with female children under the age of 17,” said an affidavit quoting a confidential informant who left the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Agents found a bed in the temple with disturbed linens and what appeared to be a female hair, said the affadavit signed by Texas Ranger Leslie Brooks Long. The Rangers are the state’s investigative law enforcement arm.
The temple also contained multiple locked safes, vaults and desk drawers that authorities sought access to as they searched for records showing alleged marriages of underage girls to older men and births among the teens. The affidavit unsealed Wednesday mentions a 16-year-old girl who has four children.
Texas Department of Public Safety troopers completed a weeklong search of the 1,700-acre grounds on Wednesday, said spokeswoman Tela Mange.
Lawyers for the sect had wanted to cut off the wide-ranging search as it dragged on but agreed in court Wednesday to the appointment of a special master who will vet what is expected to be hundreds of boxes of records, computers and even family Bibles for records that should not become evidence for legal or religious reasons.

The heads of this religion had twisted minds, no different than some psychopath. Many woman have been abducted in this civilization and are now sex slaves to this same type of twisted psychology. True religious people would not enslave people against their free will. These kids may have a hard time healing and some may heal quicker, but have scars. These leaders went against the law of the land and I don’t know what should be done with them. The woman were treated similar to the muslum woman and I’m sure lived in fear for their lives. The woman is completely hated on this planet by many people. Woman should not allow themselves to be exploited and parents should not allow their children to be exploited. When will we desire to learn?
