Here is the story again, taken from a different paper:
"The leader of a polygamous sect has gone on trial today in a case that is expected to reveal the inner workings of one of America's most bizarre and secretive groups.
"Warren Jeffs, a self-proclaimed prophet and president of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, an extreme offshoot of the Mormons, is accused of coercing the marriage and rape in 2001 of a 14-year-old followerer by her 19-year-old cousin.
"Jeffs, 51, is charged with two counts of first-degree felony rape as an accomplice for his role in the religious union."
