Seth Steed Jeffs

Seth Steed Jeffs is the son of former FLDS prophet Rulon Jeffs, as well as the brother of the religion's current FLDS leader and FBI fugitive Warren Jeffs. Seth Jeffs is best known for his 2005 arrest for allegedly illegally aiding his sibling. He works as a computer programmer.

During a routine traffic stop on October 28, 2005 in Pueblo County, Colorado, police found nearly $142,000 in cash, about $7,000 worth of prepaid debit cards and his brother's personal records. During Seth Jeffs' court case, FBI agent Andrew Stearns testified Jeffs told him he didn't know where his older brother was, but he would not reveal his whereabouts if he did.

He was convicted of harboring a fugitive on May 1, 2006 and was sentenced to three years probation and a $2,500 fine. He spoke to the judge during his sentencing: "I've had a lot of time to think about what I did. I know what I did was wrong while I was doing it," later adding, "I've done all I can to remove myself from this situation. I never want to find myself in a courtroom again. I just want to get on with my life." He also promised the court that he planned to leave the polygamist community to live in Colorado.
