Why are anti-polygamist activists “demoralized” now when the accusations against the FLDS in Eldorado were centered around child abuse. As far as I can recall, no one mentioned crimes of polygamy.

I have noticed that Flora Jessop has been a bit quieter, ever since the name Rosita Swinton appeared in headlines.

The list of charges against Warren Jeffs in Arizona is dwindling. Four incest charges were dropped this week. Two other charges were dropped in March. Some are wondering if any prison time will be added to Jeffs’ prison sentence.

Anti-polygamy activist Flora Jessop says its a tough battle to be a prosecutor in this case. She says one of the biggest challenges is convincing the FLDS faithful to testify. Many are afraid of retaliation from other members.

Jeffs faces four charges in Arizona including sexual misconduct. He faces anywhere from probation to eight years in prison if convicted. Originally, Jeffs faced as many as 27 years in prison.

Many anti-polygamy activists seem demoralized. Hundreds of FLDS children have been returned to their families in Texas. They fear the FLDS community believes the government will never be able to stop underage marriages. Jessop believes the families will begin to filter into mainstream society where CPS won’t be able to find them.
