Judge denies request by Nuwaubian leader's wife to see son
Associated PressEATONTON, Ga. - A judge has denied a request by the wife of United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors leader Malachi York to see her son, who is an alleged victim in the child molestation case against York.
Kathy Johnson, 34, was arrested in May 2002 and implicated in federal and state charges of child molestation involving at least 13 children, including her son.
Authorities allege that Johnson knowingly allowed York to have sex with her son, who is now in state custody.
Johnson has pleaded guilty to a federal charge of failing to report a crime, but the state case against her is on hold while she appeals that she was denied a speedy trial.
In Tuesday's hearing before Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit Superior Court Judge William A. Prior, Putnam County Assistant District Attorney Dawn Baskin argued against Johnson's request, saying her son is "the one witness against her who she has the most control over."
The Nuwaubians, a quasi-religious group based on a 400-acre farm in Putnam County, claim their leader York is an extraterrestrial.
