"Go back and do what he tells you to do," Jeffs said, according to the affidavit. After the girl continued to resist the man for a month, Jeffs ordered her to "give your mind, body and soul to your husband like you're supposed to," according to an affidavit obtained by The Associated Press. One accuser said Jeffs performed a wedding over her repeated objections. Jeffs, who has refused jailhouse interviews this week, spent two years on the run and three months on the FBI's Most Wanted List before his chance arrest in Las Vegas. "They pretty much have to renounce their entire heritage to go against the prophet," said Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard. Just this week, a sexual assault trial of another sect member was put on hold after the alleged victim, a woman married off at 16, refused to testify. In past attempts to prosecute polygamists within the sect, victims have faced powerful pressure to stay quiet from family members and their insular communities along the Utah-Arizona line that consider Jeffs a prophet of God. Prosecutors hope the arrest will break Jeffs' hold on his followers and empower them to speak out about their lives within the sect and the arranged marriages of young girls there, some just 13 years old.
