A polygamist sect member arrested following last year's raid of a west Texas ranch was convicted Thursday of sexually assaulting an underage girl with whom he had entered into a "spiritual" marriage, the state's attorney general said.
Raymond Jessop was found guilty of assaulting a girl under the age of 17, and is expected to be sentenced Monday, said Jerry Strickland, a spokesman for the attorney general.
Jessop, a member of the Yearning for Zion Ranch in Eldorado, Texas, faces up to 20 years in prison.
