Polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs has been hospitalized, according to prison officials in Texas. 
 
 Jeffs, 58, is serving a life sentence after being convicted in 2011 of sexually assaulting two minors whom he described as his spiritual wives. At trial, prosecutors presented DNA evidence to show he fathered a child with one of those girls, aged 15. 
 
 According to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Jeffs is being treated at a hospital in Galveston. It was not clear why or when Jeffs was transported from prison.

– Warren Jeffs has been taken from the Texas prison where he's serving a life sentence to a hospital in Galveston. The news comes via a simple update to his offender information page on the Texas Department of Criminal Justice website; it's not clear what is wrong with the polygamist sect leader, 58, who was convicted of sexually assaulting two of his minor "wives" in 2011. Also unclear is when exactly he was hospitalized, NBC News reports. It's not the first such hospitalization for Jeffs, who in 2011 received care after "not feeling well" during a fast, the Salt Lake Tribune notes. A blog post about Jeffs' appearance at a deposition last month described him as looking "frail." (More news in a similar vein: Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church is said to be "on the edge of death.")
