SAN ANGELO, Texas A member of a polygamist group was expected to go on trial Monday in West Texas for sexual assault of an alleged underage bride.
Merrill Leroy Jessop is the fourth member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to be tried for sexual assault of a child since Texas authorities raided the group's ranch in April 2008.
........
Prosecutors allege that when authorities raided the Yearning For Zion Ranch, Jessop attempted to delete photos and other documents connecting him to the alleged underage bride in the case.
