Warren Jeffs’ cult towns undergo historic change after abuse convictions
  • The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was established in the 1930s, leading to a long history of control over Hildale and Colorado City.
  • Warren Jeffs was convicted in 2011 for sexually assaulting minors, which led to federal intervention and the segregation of church influence from local governments.
  • Since the loss of Jeffs's control, the towns have undergone significant changes, with a notable shift toward inclusivity and re-connection among former sect members.
