The 55-year-old "prophet" of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints wasn't present for closing arguments and his defense attorneys said they had been instructed to remain silent. In the penalty phase of the trial his attorney, Deric Walpole, called no witnesses, presented no evidence and gave no closing argument.
Pastor Filmed Girls While They Showered
But since the statute of limitations has already expired, prosecutors today were forced to dismiss felony charges lodged against Thomas Fortenberry, who allegedly did the surreptitious filming in November 2007 at the Greater Harvest Community Church in Pasadena.
The 30-year-old Fortenberry, investigators alleged, organized a “Fear Factor” game that included honey being poured over four girls he had picked to participate. After the contest, Fortenberry instructed the minors that they “could take a shower and wash the honey” off their bodies.

It was at this point that he allegedly videotaped the four teenagers with a camera he had hidden in the church bathroom.

Jeffs Walks Out Of Sentencing
Texas: A polygamist sect leader convicted of child sexual assault walked out of his sentencing hearing in protest Friday, after reading a statement he claimed was from God. The statement promised a "whirlwind of judgment" on the world if God's "humble servant" wasn't set free.
Jeffs is the head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, one of the largest fundamental Mormon denominations. FLDS members see Jeffs as a prophet who is God's spokesman on Earth.
The FLDS Church follows some of the original Mormon doctrine including plural marriage, which states that a man having multiple wives is ordained by God; the doctrine requires it in order for a man to receive the highest form of salvation.

Warren Jeffs Guilty On All Counts
Prosecutors used DNA evidence to show Jeffs fathered a child with a 15-year-old girl and played an audio recording of what they said was him sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl. They also played audio recordings in which Jeffs was heard instructing young women on how to please him sexually.
Jeffs stood mute and expressionless, staring at the floor, for all but a few seconds of the half hour he was allotted for a closing argument on Thursday. At one point he mumbled, "I am peace," and said no more.

Jeffs has claimed he was the victim of religious persecution. The FLDS, which has at least 10,000 members nationwide, is an offshoot of mainstream Mormonism.
