The last person sentenced in the case against United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors founder Malachi York received 12 months probation for having sex with York in front of a child, said Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit Assistant District Attorney Dawn Baskin.
Istiyr Cole pleaded guilty Tuesday to reckless conduct.
Baskin said that when Cole had sex with York in front of a child, the intent was to get the child used to the idea of sex so that York could have sex with the child.
The Nuwaubians are a quasi-religious group founded by York in New York in the late 1960s. It moved in 1993 to rural Putnam County.
After a three-year investigation, York was charged in 2001 with molesting more than a dozen children who were part of the group.
York was sentenced in April to a 135-year prison sentence on child molestation and racketeering charges.
