Sect leader molested dozens, agent says

MACON, Ga. – The leader of a religious group molested dozens of children, some as young as 4, at the sect's compound over the last nine years, an FBI agent testified at a bail hearing Monday.
Dwight York, founder of the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors, and his partner, Kathy Johnson, are seeking bail on federal charges accusing them of transporting minors across state lines for sex beginning in 1993, the year the group settled in central Georgia.
FBI Agent Jalaine Ward testified that three children told her they were forced to perform sex acts with Mr. York, 56, and Ms. Johnson, 33.
The children, ages 4, 6 and 8 at the time, were photographed and videotaped engaging in sexual acts and posing in sexually explicit positions, she said.
Agent Ward said witnesses told investigators that 30 to 35 children ages 4 to 18 were molested. She said Mr. York brought some children to the compound from New York. He also took 15 to 20 trips to Disney World in Florida over the last four years, taking minors with him and abusing them, she said.
The hearing is scheduled to resume Tuesday.
Mr. York and Ms. Johnson were arrested last Wednesday a few miles from the 476-acre Nuwaubian compound. At about the same time, more than 100 officers raided the compound and said they seized at least 30 handguns and rifles.
The United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors is a predominantly black, quasi-religious group. The compound featured six-story pyramids and a large gate bearing Egyptian-style hieroglyphics.
In some Nuwaubian literature, Mr. York has been referred to as the group's savior or god and described as an extraterrestrial from the planet "Rizq."
More than 100 people lived in the compound but Mr. York and Ms. Johnson were the only ones arrested.
Mr. York faces four counts of sexual exploitation of minors. The maximum penalty for each count is 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Ms. Johnson faces one charge.
