Cult leader's indictment may be nation's largest child molestation caseThe criminal case against Dwight York (aka "Malachi York"), the leader of the Nuwaubians, may be the largest case regarding child molestation in the history of the United States, reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
A Putnam County grand jury in Georgia on October 3rd handed down a 208-count indictment. York is named in 197 counts. This almost doubles the previous counts York was charged with.
It appears that York, who once served a sentence for a felony conviction in New York State, may end up being incarcerated for the rest of his life in Georgia if convicted.
Child molesters don't do well in prison. If York is locked up he will probably be put in protective custody. Sadly, it seems that there was little meaningful protection for the many children and families York allegedly harmed within his cult over the years.
