FDLS Raid in Texas

Authorities in the US state of Texas have removed 52 girls from the ranch of the polygamist sect led by Warren Jeffs as part of a child abuse investigation.

Eighteen of the girls, aged between 6 months and 17, are in state custody. The rest are being found foster homes.

Jeffs, head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, was jailed in November for 10 years for being an accomplice to rape.
