Who were Warren Jeffs' wives and where are they now?

SELF-PROCLAIMED prophet Warren Jeffs is a central figure in The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS).

Though Warren Jeffs was sentenced to life plus 20 years in prison for child abuse, rape, and arranging marriages between young girls and older men, many still consider him the leader of the FLDS today.

Who were Warren Jeffs' wives, and where are they now?

Part of the FLDS religious doctrine revolves around polygamy and the idea that a man must have at least three wives to gain the favor of God needed to enter heaven.

Warren Jeffs had at least 78 wives, and at the time of his arrest, 24 of them were under the age of 17.

While some of Jeffs' wives remained steadfast in their beliefs after his arrest, others turned against the cult.

Here are some wives we know about, featured in a new Netflix docu-series called Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey, which airs June 8, 2022.

Merrianne Jessop

Merrianne was married to Jeffs when she was just 12 years old.

After his arrest, she was placed into foster care, then taken in by a cousin who was an ex-FLDS member.

She soon ran off though and was last seen back at the compound in Texas, which was her last known whereabouts.

Mildred was married to Jeffs at the age of 13.

According to her brother, she's now evading the law in Canada, where she still practices polygamy.

Also, her brother claims that a fourth sister was married to Jeffs and that the latter three are missing.

The parents of the girls are currently facing charges for taking them across the border to the US so that they could be married.

How many children does Jeffs have?

Jeffs has fathered more than 60 children.

Most of Jeffs' children have sought to stay out of the limelight.

However, a select few have opened up to the world through outlets like CNN and documentaries, sharing just how terrifying life was for them growing up.

How can I watch Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey?

The four-part docu-series airs on June 8 on Netflix.

It features interviews with survivors of Jeffs' crimes, many of whom have never been heard from before.
