Photos of a stadium being built on the site of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - led by convicted paedophile Warren Jeffs - have emerged, raising concerns about its purpose.

The former spokesman for the polygamous sect led by Warren Jeffs says in a new lawsuit that sect leaders arranged a nighttime burglary that gutted his business after he was excommunicated for refusing to falsify sect records on Jeffs' marriages to underage girls.

At a hearing in Colorado City Thursday, a former member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said there's a social crisis going on in the area, with children as young as 5 years old fleeing the new order being imposed.

Warren Jeffs , who is serving a life sentence for sexually assaulting underage girls, is being investigated by Texas prison officials for possibly violating his phone privileges on Christmas Day.
