A year after the raid, two thirds of the families were back at the ranch and sect leaders had promised to end underaged marriages. Twelve men, not all apparently from the ranch, had been indicted on a variety of sex charges, including assault and bigamy. One child, a 14-year-old girl, remained in foster care. She was married to jailed leader Warren Jeffs when she was 12. The following summer, 2009, she was sent to live with a relative and ordered not to have contact with Jeffs.

Famous quotes containing the word resolution:
“Breaking his oath and resolution like
A twist of rotten silk.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The passions do very often give birth to others of a nature most contrary to their own. Thus avarice sometimes brings forth prodigality, and prodigality avarice; a man’s resolution is very often the effect of levity, and his boldness that of cowardice and fear.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
