A $2.75 million settlement has been reached in a former child bride's lawsuit against the Fundamentalist LDS Church and the United Effort Plan Trust. A joint statement was issued on Friday by both sides stating that the settlement was "long overdue." The lawsuit was filed nine years ago and sought $40 million for the women who was married to her 19-year-old cousin as a 14-year-old. The ceremony was presided over by Warren Jeffs, the leader of the FLDS Church. Jeffs is currently serving a life sentence in a Texas prison for sexually assaulting two underage polygamous brides.
