A Texas grand jury indicted three more members of a polygamist sect that was raided in April, a Schleicher County official told CNN on Thursday.
Warren Jeffs and four followers were indicted in Texas in July on child sex abuse charges.

“We have three indictments on three people,” said Peggy Williams, the county clerk. “There will be no more information released until the three individuals have been served. We are not releasing names or charges at this time.”

Five Texas members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), along with the group’s leader, Warren Jeffs, were indicted in July in Texas on charges relating to accusations of sexual abuse of children.

Jeffs was charged with the sexual assault of a child, which is considered a first-degree felony. If convicted, he would face a maximum penalty of five to 99 years or life in prison, as well as a fine of up to $10,000.
