An unsealed court document explaining why Texas rangers raided a polygamist compound says a 16-year-old accuses her husband of sexually assaulting and beating her after she was forced into marriage. Authorities believe she may be among the more than 400 children removed from the church grounds. She may be afraid to come forward and identify herself. A former member of the Yearning For Zion Ranch says gave Texas Rangers details of the sect's practice of marrying teen girls to older men, revealing the group kept a bed inside their temple used by adult men to have sex with underage girls after wedding ceremonies.
