Thanks Yolorado!

I'm going to guess they have DNA evidence of paternity from the underaged girls who are currently pregnant or who already had given birth. Since the YFZ was the 'retreat' for the elite, I'm hoping the leadership is beheaded.

You and me both! Perhaps that fifth name is Wendell Neilson.

"There will be an aggressive effort to apprehend them," Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said about an hour after grand jurors filed out of their meeting room. Abbott would only divulge Jeffs' name because he is already in jail. The names of the others will not be released to the public until they are arrested.
A steady stream of about nine women in long dresses with braided hair was called to the grand jury hearing earlier today. About half made it into the meeting room on the courthouse square, but all left quickly after telling the grand jury nothing, said a 25-year-old member of the sect who would only identify himself as "Ben."
"They are all taking the fifth," he said as he and another member of the FLDS were snapping photos of government officials from inside their SUV in the courthouse parking lot.

I reckon Willie will use it as a platform to say just what he wants to say and will avoid what he doesnt. I dont think he is any better than Warren Jeffs and that the others will be saying only what he wants them to say.
The article does not say whether Willie did actually testify so it will be interesting to see whether he does take The Fifth or not.

A photo of sect leader Warren Jeffs apparently kissing a minor girl.

Rod Parker is 'vacationing' in Colorado?
Wonder if he's setting up the newest armed compound? I wonder if the police will be able to locate and arrest the other men, or if they've already gone on the run?

Thank yolardo! In the SLT link you provided, an official says that once Jeffs other charges are taken care of he will push for a speedy trial in this matter. Here's the quote:
He said that once those proceedings end, he will "push for a very speedy trial in this matter."
I am very curious as to the others who were indicted.

Following link is to preview of NYT article which will be printed in full--I think this coming Sunday. It shows several FLDS photos, including those of "Sally's" family with some pictures of "Annette's" family too as well as others. (Left hand side slideshow) Specific husbands are missing as per usual with this clan but there are a few photos of boys and men. (Check-out the pictures the mantle and on the bedside table.) Included are one or more child brides, some with children. I believe (and I could be mistaken) that "Sally" was one of the women interviewed on TV sitting next to the younger woman with the unibrow. What do you all think? I also believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, that someone asked "Sally" if she'd even seen underaged marriages, and she said, more or less, 'No, never seen anything like that.' Yet, she very probably has children in her house who were apparetnly married underage. Wonder if she just didn't make it to her child's marriage or thought that her daughter had a baby but no husband.

I really hope that TX intends to go after moms who permitted their daughters to be married as teens to adult men. I know these women have little say, but unless and until they are calling the cops when pedophiles in their organization are trading tweens and/or getting them preggers, instead of sewing wedding dresses, taking wedding pictures and putting photo albums together to document the 'blessed events,' their children won't be safe. These enabling moms need to understand they'll be accountable under the law for allowing child abuse just like any of the rest of us would be.

Well, it looks like none of the men who have been indicted by the Grand Jury have stood to face the charges. Guess they've all taken a page from Warren Jeffs, and, after ditching every last remnant of their so-called faith, these child molesting cowards have taken off with their stolen millions to hide from the law.
No Matter. They will be tracked down and prosecuted.
What a bunch of cowards. They know damn well that raping little girls is not a defensible 'religious freedom'. They know they are simply nasty old perverts. That's why they run when the law catches up to them. They are such bloody losers. They will be prosecuted. Without a doubt. They might as well crawl out from under their little rocks and turn themselves in.
The FLDS are such pathetic excuses for men.
Lock 'em up. Throw away the key.

Glad they are prosecuting. I think the DNA tests will be very telling.

Texas Ranger Capt. L.C. Wilson said the investigation is by no means over. I think I could safely say that,' Wilson said when asked if more indictments could be expected. There's certainly other persons of interest and other suspects in this case.'

A Texas attorney who represents several men from the Yearning for Zion Ranch expressed frustration to the Deseret News on Wednesday that Texas authorities won't reveal the names of those indicted. The attorney, who asked not to be identified, said members of the polygamous sect would be willing to surrender if they knew they were indicted. But as it stands, Texas Rangers will have to arrest them before attorneys can even get involved
