Warren Jeffs’ Texas trial evidence is to be examined by Utah prosecutors who say they're looking to see if the polygamist sect leader should be charged in Utah.
Jeffs, 55, was sentenced to life in prison in Texas after being convicted of sexually assaulting two girls, ages 12 and 15, who he called wives.
He will be investigated by Utah police due to at least one allegation that emerged in Texas, The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
The Tribune said a woman, now 28, testified during Jeff's sentencing that he molested her when she was 8 at Alta Academy, where he was then principal.
The woman had testified that she first reported the alleged abuse to Texas rangers in 2008.
Washington County (Utah) Attorney Brock Belnap said, "I'm very interested in the material that has been uncovered in Texas.”
“I look forward to reviewing it as soon as they feel comfortable releasing it to us,” Blenap added, reports The Salt Lake Tribune.
State Attorney General Mark Shurtleff said Utah legal authorities will investigate the woman's claim.
But he said Texas authorities have told him there is no evidence Jeffs had sex with some of his teenage brides in Utah.
During Jeffs' trial, prosecutor Eric Nichols told the jury the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints had "perverted a religion to his own ends.”
Nichols also said Jeffs had treated women and children as "property for sexual gratification and child bearing,” The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Prosecutors told jurors Jeffs' wives included 12 he married at age 16 and 12 he married at age 15 or younger.
