Jeffs, 69, the president of the polygamous cult Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, is currently serving a life sentence in Texas for child sexual assault following two 2011 convictions.

Narrated by Tamron Hall, How I Escaped My Cult joins several other true crime projects at Freeform.
