Texas law enforcement looking for indicted sect members

SAN ANGELO, Texas (AP) Texas authorities say they're searching for five indicted followers of jailed polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs.

Charges include sexual assault of a child, bigamy and failing to report child abuse. The five were indicted yesterday along with Jeffs, who has already been convicted and jailed on charges related to underage marriages.

The county sheriff says he has warrants for the five men in hand. His west Texas office is working with Texas Rangers and prosecutors to arrest the men. It's not clear, however, whether the men are still in Texas.

A spokesman for the polygamist group calls the indictments a face-saving move by officials after they lost a court battle over the seizure of hundreds of children from a ranch owned by the sect.
