A son of Warren Jeffs says the polygamist leader controlled and manipulated him and shuffled him around the country to atone for alleged misdeeds before the younger man left the sect in 2014.
Roy Jeffs, 23, spoke to The Associated Press on Friday, offering a window into what life is like in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Warren Jeffs is serving a life sentence in Texas for sexually assaulting girls, but he still runs the secretive sect based on the Utah-Arizona border.
Roy Jeffs alleges his father also sexually abused him as a child. He says he's not reporting it to authorities but wants other sect members to know the truth.
Lawyers for Warren Jeffs didn't return messages seeking comment, and an email sent to him in prison wasn't immediately returned.
Roy Jeffs first spoke to CNN in an interview broadcast this week.
