SAN ANGELO, TEXAS -- Authorities searching a remote polygamist
compound for a 16-year-old girl who had claimed she was sexually
abused discovered a bed inside a towering limestone temple and
were told by a "confidential informant" that men used it to have
sex with underage girls, according to a court document unsealed
Wednesday.

The discovery of the bed, which was ruffled and contained what
appeared to be a long strand of a female's hair, was disclosed
in an affidavit that Texas Rangers used to obtain a second
search warrant to expand their investigation of the YFZ Ranch,
a 1,700-acre guarded complex outside the tiny West Texas town
of Eldorado.

YFZ, which stands for Yearning for Zion, was built by the
Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a
10,000-member sect that broke away from the Mormon Church
in the 1930s after it banned polygamy.
