(CNN) -- Polygamist sect leader Warren Steed Jeffs, who is awaiting trial in southern Utah, was charged with eight additional felony counts from Arizona in two separate cases, authorities said Thursday.

A grand jury indicted Jeffs May 10 on two counts of sexual conduct with a minor and two counts of incest for alleged incidents that occurred in 2002, according to a statement issued by Mohave County Attorney Matthew J. Smith.

On Thursday, another grand jury indicted him on two additional counts of sexual conduct with a minor and two additional counts of incest. Those offenses took place in Colorado City, Arizona, in 2003, according to the indictment.

Both indictments state that Jeffs, leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS), committed the offenses "as an accomplice."

FLDS is a 'splinter' sect of Mormons who refuse to disavow the polygamist practices of founder Joseph Smith. This is one of the groups described in Jon Krakauer's "Under the Banner of Heaven".

And, authorities need to do something about the rest of the "leaders" NOW.

Yeah, what he did was horrible. But maybe there won't be enough jurors to convict. And if he gets acquitted, it'd make us look bad.

Let's just focus on the positive.

:shrug:

:wink:

We don't have time for this right now. Besides, we need to keep our powder dry.

:rofl: :rofl:

They should have just went after him before getting their case in order. It would have "appeared" they were doing something that way.

I hope they fry this dickhead.

have little heads that overrule their big heads.

Any Attorney General or politician who tries to crack down on these people ends up losing re-election.

So of course Terry Goddard is scared shitless of doing anything about these horrors.
