SALT LAKE CITY — A polygamous church led by Warren Jeffs before he was jailed in 2007 has named a new president who is facing bigamy charges.
Wendell Loy Nielsen, 69, was named president in documents filed with the Utah Department of Commerce. He has long been a senior leader in the hierarchy of the southern Utah-based Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
He previously served as a counselor to Jeffs and his father, Rulon Jeffs, who led the church until his death in 2002.
