Ruby Jessop was just 14-years-old when she was deemed ‘sexually mature’ by polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs and forced to marry her step-brother and have sex with different men.

She was held against her will at the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for the next 12 years, in which time she bore six children and lived under the iron fist of the pervert leader.
