New Book on Cult Leader Details What Prosecutor Calls His ‘Most Significant’ Case

Dwight "Malachi" York was a false prophet, a psychotic thug, a con man and a sexual predator who headquartered his religious cult in rural Georgia, then used his position as a religious leader to deflect scrutiny from his criminal activities, author Bill Osinski asserts in a newly published book. F. Maxwell Wood, U.S. Attorney for Georgia's middle district, calls his office's prosecution of York -- who is now in federal prison --"without a doubt the most significant and powerful case I ever prosecuted."
