It would seem as though this girl’s lawyer has an agenda of her own, and is not (according to the girl herself) representing her client’s interests. I find this to be a rather unusual situation.
A lawyer for a teen member of a polygamist sect has accused a sect leader of harassing and intimidating them both in a request for a restraining order filed Friday.

Natalie Malonis filed the request for the restraining order against Willie Jessop in District Court in San Angelo, Texas. She is an attorney ad litem on behalf of the 16-year-old girl, who has been named in court documents as the daughter Warren Jeffs, the imprisoned “prophet” of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
In the documents, Malonis suggested that Jessop may be trying to prevent the girl’s testimony before a grand jury.
Jessop’s conduct, “if allowed to continue, will impede the investigation of a report of child abuse or neglect,” she said.
There was no immediate response from Jessop to the court filing.
The girl was among more than 400 children that state child welfare workers seized from the FLDS’s Yearning for Zion Ranch in April.
