After the wedding, Jane Doe expressed “disdain, reluctance and opposition and totally dislike of sexual relations with” her husband, but that Jeffs sent her back to him, the judge said.
Earlier today, Jeffs’ defense attorney, Walter Bugden, said Jeffs merely conducted the marriage and offered standard marital advice - acts that fall short of being an accomplice to rape.
There is no proof that Jeffs knew Jane Doe was having nonconsensual sex or that her husband believed she was not a willing participant, Bugden said during a preliminary hearing on whether Jeffs would stand trial on two counts of accessory to rape. http://www.religionnewsblog.com/1682...to-stand-trial
