(KSL News) Court officials have unsealed three new indictments against members of the FLDS Church.

Polygamist leader Warren Jeffs and two of his followers, Raymond Jessop and Michael Emack, were indicted by a grand jury Thursday on bigamy charges.

Their names were released yesterday after Jessop and Emack surrendered to Texas authorities.

Both were released after posting $10,000 bond. Jeffs is awaiting trial in an Arizona jail. All three men were indicted last month on sexual assault charges.

The criminal cases stem from an April raid on the FLDS Church ranch in El Dorado, Texas.
