We often get to hear news about self-proclaimed religious leaders who get involved in various types of illegal occupations. Today, we will talk about one such religious leader who had 79 wives. The man reportedly stayed in an American town. This town is the only town where polygamy was permitted. The man even posted videos of the town he lived in and often claimed to be a godman. After practicing polygamy for several years he was charged with sexual abuse and was jailed. The man also sexually abused children. Let us know more about this bizarre town here in this article.
This story was recounted by famous travel blogger Drew Binsky. When he was visiting the town he met a woman named Briell Decker who is the 65th wife of the so-called religious leader. The name of the man is Warren Jeffs. The woman reportedly lived with Warren in a massive 44-room mansion. As per reports they lived in a small town of Colorado City, Arizona, United States. The place was mainly ruled by the laws of the FLDS church (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints)
Warren Jeffs is a controversial figure who made headlines in the United States. He claimed to have a direct connection with God and used his religious influence to manipulate and abuse women and children. Before his arrest, Jeffs had multiple wives, with estimates suggesting around 85 women, including some as young as 12 years old. He was eventually convicted of his crimes and sentenced to life in prison.
In a recent development, a video has surfaced featuring Briell Decker, one of Jeffs’ former wives. The video was facilitated by Binsky, with the help of his friend Sam, and was filmed at Decker’s former residence where she lived with Jeffs. According to reports, Jeffs married Decker while he was on the run from law enforcement.
As per media reports, Jeffs managed to run from the investigative departments for several years. He travelled across the United States to get away from arrest. He was then named on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list. In 2006, he was arrested by the FBI. The video went viral soon after it was posted garnering more than 11 lakh views.
