In these excerpts from her testimony, Candi Shapley recounts how the FLDS leader, Warren Jeffs, now a federal fugitive, "sealed" her to Barlow, a man she had never met. She then described how her new husband raped her when she said she wasn't ready to get pregnant. Barlow faces sexual assault charges at a trial scheduled for August. Shapley subsequently spoke about her experiences on "Good Morning, America."

Mohave County Attorney Matt Smith: Could you tell the grand jury just a little bit about some of the things you were taught from your parents and also through the school system as far as how they women are supposed to be and what types of jobs they should seek in life and what type of education they should get?

Candi Shapley: We're not really taught that much about education. We're taught that we're supposed to be good mothers, grow up and get married and our whole — we were taught that we're here to bring children onto the earth and raise them as sweet as possible.

...

Shapley testified that she grew up living with her father, his six wives and some of her 56 siblings in a house with 20 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms. In March 2002, he told her Jeffs had chosen a husband for her and she would be married the next day.

Q: Did you have any forewarning that this was coming?

A: No.

Q: When you talked to your dad about this, did he know the name of the man that you were going to be marrying?

A: No. He knew the last name but he couldn't remember the first name.

Q: The fact — did he tell you it was one of the Barlow boys?

A: Yes.

Subsequently she found out her husband-to-be was Randolph Barlow, 28.

Q: You had never met him before?

A: No.

Q: Never seen him before?

A: No.

Q: No dates?

A: No.

Q: No talking on the telephone?

A: No.

Q: What were you thinking at the time when your dad told you you were getting married the next day?

A: I was scared. I thought whatever, I mean, I just kind of didn't understand because my father didn't even know who he was, so.

At Jeffs' direction, she traveled to a hotel in Caliente, Nev., with her father and his wives.

Q: Who was present?

A: My father and his six wives and my husband, of course, and his wife, his first wife.

Jeffs performed the ceremony.

Q: What kind of ceremony was it? Was it an actual one? Would they have as a traditional wedding?

A: There is specific words that they use every time someone gets married out there.

Q: Where do those words come from?

A: Through the past. I don't know. The previous prophets or whatever.

Q: Is it a book that is actually read out of?

A: Yes.

Q: OK. When Warren Jeffs performed this ceremony with you and Randy Barlow, did you know at that time that it was not a legally recognized marriage because Randy Barlow was already married?

A: Yes.

Q: But it was something that was commonly done?

A: Yes.

Q: Do you know why this ceremony took place in Caliente, Nevada, and you had to drive two and a half hours rather than just doing it in Colorado City?

A: I wondered a little bit. I didn't really — we weren't allowed to watch television or the news or anything so we didn't know much about it. But we heard that they were — passed a law that plural marriage was illegal in Utah, so we went to Nevada.

Q: Were there any other wedding ceremonies going on that day other than yours?

A: Yes.

Q: Do you know how many others?

A: Probably around eight or ten. I'm not sure.

Q: Were there any other girls that were going to be married where the ceremony was going to be done by Warren Jeffs where the girls were also under age 18 like yourself?

A: Yes.

Q: Do you know how many?

A: I only knew of two of them.

Q: OK. Was one of them, in fact, Warren Jeffs' own daughter?

A: Yes.

...

Q: OK. Did Warren Jeffs say anything during this ceremony with you and Randy Barlow about having children in the future?

A: Yes. He said I want you to go and be fruitful and replenish the earth.

Q: Did you take that to mean at that time that he expected or thought you were going to start trying to have children immediately?

A: Yes.

Q: Was that what you were taught?

A: No. We were taught that it was our choice. I mean, it was supposed to be the lady's choice and the man's of course together. They were supposed to work together. But yes, we were taught that that's why we were on this earth is to bring forth children.

Q: When you left the ceremony that day, where did you go to?

A: Randy Barlow's house in Colorado City, Arizona.

...

Q: What kind of home was it?

A: A trailer. A trailer home.

Q: Big trailer?

A: Two bedrooms, one bathroom.

Q: Who was already living in that trailer at the time that you got married so to speak to him?

A: Havaline, his first wife, and her four children and Randy.

...

Q: I know this isn't easy to talk about, but how long after you got married was it before you two consummated the marriage?

A: Two days.

Q: Would that have made it about March 30 of 2002?

A: Yes.

Q: And did that take place ... in the trailer?

A: Yes.

Q: Who brought up the subject about having sexual intercourse?

A: He did.

Q: When he brought it up, did he ask you if you wanted to do it?

A: Yes.

Q: What did you tell him?

A: No.

Q: Why did you tell him no?

A: Because I wasn't ready to have children.

Q: Did he respect your wishes?

A: No.

Q: What did he do?

A: He didn't care. He just did it anyway.

Shapley testified that six months later the subject of children came up again and she again said she did not think she was ready to be a mother.

A: He just thought that — I told him I wasn't ready to have children. And he thought that I was. He just told me that I was and so he forced me to have sex with him.

Q: Did you try to stop him this time?

A: Yes.

Q: What did you do?

A: I pushed him off of me.

...

Q: What happened when you tried to push him off of you?

A: He held my hands down.

Shapley said she became so unhappy in the marriage that she had an affair, knowing Barlow would kick her out.

Grand juror: Did you love this guy or did you just do it to break the curse?

A: I did it to break the curse.
