York serving 135 years for molestation at
Nuwaubian compound
EATONTON, Ga. - Pyramids, obelisks and a

of a quasi-religious sect lived only five
years ago.
The United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors has gone
quiet since its leader, Malachi York, was
sentenced to 135 years in federal prison in
April for molesting 14 boys and girls whose
parents were members of his group.

Nuwaubians’ 476-acre farm in this middle
Georgia town and the group’s members have
dispersed.

Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills, who has
clashed with the Nuwaubians since York moved
his followers from New York City’s Brooklyn
borough to this rural county in 1993.
"He was the absolute ruler. There was no one
else," Sill said.
At their height, the Nuwaubians brought 5,000
people to Eatonton for Savior’s Day to
celebrate York’s birthday.
In 1999, as many as 500 people lived on the
compound, practicing York’s malleable religion
that shifted from Islamic roots to Judaism,
Christianity and Egyptian mysticism, with
members at times dressing as cowboys and
American Indians. At one time, York even
incorporated space aliens into his teachings,
claiming that he was an extraterrestrial from
the planet "Rizq..."
