EL DORADO - The first man to go on trial in Texas after last year's raid at an FLDS ranch was found guilty.

It took jurors only a few minutes to deliberate and come to a decision.

Raymond Jessop, 38, found guilty of sexual conduct with a minor.

He married and impregnated a 15-year-old girl as his ninth wife.

Jessop faces 2-20 years in prison.
