*Sounds of a Little Girl Crying As She Is Told to Take Off Her Clothes, Then Asked How It Feels and Told to Ignore the Pain
"Prosecutors in the Warren Jeffs sexual assault case presented their last piece of evidence in his trial Wednesday - a chilling recording of him having sex with a 12-year-old girl who he claims was his 'spiritual wife.'
"The polygamist cult leader's voice can be clearly heard on the shocking recording, ordering the little girl to 'take your clothes off,' as she is heard crying.
"Jeffs is then heard asking the child: 'How do you feel, doesn't it feel good?" . . .
"The 55-year-old continues to coach the girl throughout the ordeal, advising her to 'just don't think about the pain.' . . .

*A Little Girl Tied Down and Raped as Others Watch
"There were reportedly other people present in the room during the 'marriage consummation' and prosecutors claim that women in the cult were holding the little girl down as Jeffs raped her.
"At one point Jeffs is heard ordering 'the rest of you back away,' and the horrific fact that they likely tied-up the little girl during her assault was made apparent.
"There were other sounds on the tape that suggest that the two were having sex.
"The graphic recording shocked jurors, one of whom dabbed her eyes with a tissue while the audio was played.
"At another juncture Jeffs orders the girl "to feel his presence . . .the spirit of God,' on the recording."

*Heavy Breathing as Jeffs' Other "Celestial Wives" Bear Witness--and as Listening Jurors Wipe Away Tears
"The prosecution’s most damning evidence against Jeffs is an audio recording of Jeffs allegedly having sex with the child. That recording was played in court yesterday. On it, Jeffs can be heard saying the child’s full name, leaving no doubt as to who is in the room with him. As the tape was played, jurors also heard heavy breathing and talking, including Jeffs asking, 'Does it feel good?' and a child’s voice responding 'Yes, thank you.' The prosecution also claims that three of Jeffs other so-called 'celestial wives' were present when the recording was made. The recording ended with Jeffs saying, 'In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen,' and the child repeating, 'Amen.'
"While listening to the tape, several jurors held their heads in their hands, some covered their mouths. One woman could be seen wiping away her tears with tissue. The state rested its case after playing the explosive audio."

For a "jaw-dropping" news account of Jeffs' sex audiotape, read what follows this introduction:
"'Instructions to young wives include showering before going near him and maintaining armpit and pubic hair
"'Pictures show head of Mormon sect with young redhead he is accused of raping
"'Court hears him explain how he likes to be pleased sexually
"'He told his young wives they were "honorable vessels" and journalised about how they were 'willing to obey':
"Mr. Jeffs, the head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is accused of sexually assaulting two girls, ages 12 and 15, he took as brides in 'spiritual marriages.'
"He objected as the tape was prepared, and his frustrations continued as it was played, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
"The 90-minute segment details how the young brides should become 'so natural as clothed as unclothed' and always shower before getting near him.
"Mr. Jeffs is also heard instructing the woman on how to maintain their pubic hair, and a woman is heard showing the other wives how to properly shave their armpits.
"He says on the tape: 'No one sits around, everyone assists each other.'
"This came after a doctor and forensic analyst testified the 55-year-old Jeffs was the father of a 15-year-old's child."
