ELDORADO - An Eldorado jury takes on the task of deciding the punishment for Polygamist Sect Member Raymond Jessop on Monday.

The 38-year-old was charged last week with sexually assaulting a child.

He faces up to 20-years in prison for his marriage to a 16-year-old girl, who gave birth to his child.

Jessop is also accused of having eight other wives.

He'll go to trial later on a bigamy charge.
