Richard Mourdock reminds me of Mormon Polygamous leader Warren Jeffs

Nephew alleges Jeffs raped him, claimed it was 'God's will'

~snip~

The jury also heard Saturday from Brent Jeffs, Warren Jeffs' now 28-year-old nephew. The man was in tears as he told Texas District Court jurors about being raped by his uncle when he was 5.

He said Jeffs pulled him aside at a family meeting, took him into a restroom, ordered him to kneel like he was praying, then raped him.

"He told me this was God's will, this was God's work," the nephew said.

Warren Jeffs also warned the boy that, "this is between me and you and God and no one else needs to know about it."

The Tribune does not typically identify victims of sexual assault. However, Brent Jeffs has been public about the allegations against his uncle.

A: Dominionist. The Church, officially called "The Family," is on C Street in DC, right across from the WH. "The Family" is also known as the "Frathouse for Jesus," and numerous (D) & (R) Congresscritters live there rent-free.
