ST. GEORGE , Utah ( CNN ) -- A young man whose arranged marriage to a young cousin led to the conviction of polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs was charged Wednesday with her rape . Prosecutors filed the rape charge against Allen Steed , 26 , a day after a jury found Jeffs guilty of two rape-accomplice counts in connection with Steed 's ill-fated 2001 marriage to Elissa Wall . Jurors found that Jeffs used his authority as leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints , or FLDS , to push the girl into a marriage she did not want . Steed was 19 and his bride , who also was his first cousin , was 14 when Jeffs `` sealed '' them in spiritual marriage at a motel in Caliente , Nevada , where many FLDS weddings were performed . Three other couples also were married that day in separate ceremonies , according to testimony . Steed is accused of having sex with the girl against her will several weeks into the marriage . Steed testified for the defense at Jeffs ' trial . He said his new wife was affectionate to him in private , but cold in public . He denied that he or Jeffs had forced sex on her .

She testified that she told Steed she was not ready and that her first sexual encounter made her feel dirty , used and trapped . Her pleas to church leaders to end the marriage were ignored , and Jeffs told her to submit `` mind , body and soul '' to her new husband , Wall told the jury . Her sisters testified that most of the women in the family also opposed the marriage but were powerless to stop it . According to the criminal complaint , the trial established that the pair had sex and that the young woman had convinced jurors she did not consent . Wall left the marriage and the FLDS in 2004 .
