The ex-child bride who helped take down Warren Jeffs has revealed that she suffered several miscarriage and a still birth after she was forced to marry her 19-year-old first cousin when she was just 14. Elissa Wall, now 31, was awarded $16million in damages against Mormon cult leader Jeffs, last September, after she was the star witness in the trial that ultimately put him away.A judge noted that as the leader of the isolated sect of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) Jeffs had control over every aspect of his followers' lives. He was responsible for arranging for Wall, then 14, to marry her first cousin Allen Steed, then 19, over her objections. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
