The ex-tyke lady of the hour who helped bring down Warren Jeffs has uncovered that she endured a few premature delivery a still birth after she was compelled to wed her 19-year-old first cousin when she was only 14. 

Elissa Wall, now 31, was granted $16million in harms against Mormon religion pioneer Jeffs, last September, after she was the star witness in the trial that eventually put him away. 

A judge noticed that as the pioneer of the confined order of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) Jeffs had control over each part of his adherents' lives. He was in charge of organizing Wall, at that point 14, to wed her first cousin Allen Steed, at that point 19, over her complaints.
