In September 2002, Warren Jeffs began his reign of terror.
As the 'Prophet' of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), Jeffs was a man who used his 'God status' to intimidate, brainwash and manipulate thousands of religious followers into following his every command.
And for years, he got away with it.
