Excerpt

SAN ANGELO, Texas — Texas child welfare authorities have dropped the custody case involving a 17-year-old daughter of jailed polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs, saying court oversight is no longer needed.

Child Protective Services on Monday dropped their custody case on the girl, who was allegedly married to Raymond Merrill Jessop in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints the day after she turned 15. Jessop, 37, has been indicted on charges of bigamy and sexual assault of a child.

update: after further probing, this article is about Teresa Jeffs.
