Woman Flees Warren Jeffs' Polygamous FLDS Sect With Help Of Utah Authorities

(CBS/AP) SALT LAKE CITY - Utah Authorities said Wednesday they have helped a woman who was reportedly one of Warren Jeffs' 70 wives leave the polygamous community run by the jailed sect leader.

Media outlets including the Salt Lake Tribune reported the woman was one of Jeffs' many wives. Sheriff's Detective Nate Abbott said he did not know whether the woman was married to Jeffs.

The 55-year-old Jeffs, whom followers consider a religious prophet, is serving a life sentence in Texas for child sexual assault convictions.
