BBC: Mormon cultist guilty
Warren Jeffs, head of the fundie mormons, has been found guilty of complicity in the rape of a 14-year-old girl forced to marry her cousin.
A court in Utah found Warren Jeffs, a self-proclaimed Mormon prophet, guilty of two counts of encouraging the young girl to have sex against her will.
The head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) could face life in prison.
This paragraph is particularly telling of a certain kind of theistic mindset:
After deliberating for 16 hours, the jury in St George found Mr Jeffs had orchestrated the marriage of the girl to her 19-year-old cousin and encouraged her to have sex by telling her she would go to hell if she did not.
