(KSL News) -- Today, federal prosecutors in Utah filed charges against Warren Jeffs for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

The charges come just three weeks after the state court charged him for his role in arranging a marriage between a teenage girl and an older man.

The 51-year-old Jeffs is the leader the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which is based in the twin cities of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Utah.

The FBI is offering a 50-thousand dollar reward for information that leads to his arrest.
