Warren Jeffs was just convicted of being an accomplice to rape for performing a wedding between a 19-year-old man and the man's 14-year-old cousin.
And there was much rejoicing. At least in this house. I'm not LDS myownself, but Jeffs and his ilk are a blot on my fair State. He's not a "prophet," he's a pervert.
ETA: For those who haven't been following the story, he didn't just "perform the wedding," he mandated it. He rules with an iron fist down there, owns most of the property "in trust," and hardly anyone dares defy him because they believe he holds the key to their immortal soul. More info here and here.
Oh, I'm sorry. Is my intolerance showing? Too bad.
