Merrill Jessop, for one, lives there.
He's in his 80's. He has 13 wives.
He is Carolyn Jessop's ex-husband.
She wrote "Escape"
In it she describes how he punished her through her children.
He used a form of water torture on them.
A truly awful man.
I believe Warren Jeffs left him in charge of the YFZ Ranch.

Ha! Very good. I completely overlooked him.

I would however point out that some people mellow as they age and I suspect Carolyn Jessop makes quite a bit of money on her books.

You are right. He could be a nice old man.
And she could be a liar.
Time will tell.

I never mentioned nice, just tried to explain that what occurred 22 years ago may not be going on today. It is a known fact that abusive husbands generally aren't as abusive the older they get. Maybe they run out of steam.

As to the other; well she is making alot of money telling her version of the story. I haven't read her book, but I read on another forum that the water-boarding story about the babies wasn't in it and wasn't brought up until quite recently. Don't know if its true or not, but I would like to know.

Really trying to walk away... (Just one more post to go).
