Bill Osinski discusses his book *Ungodly*. While society turned a blind eye for more than three decades, Dwight York, also known as Dr. Malachi Z. York and Imam Isa, devolved into a sexual predator of unprecedented proportions. He became the target of what prosecutors believe was the largest child molestation prosecution in United States history. When he was finally indicted, state prosecutors reduced the number of counts listed from well beyond 1,000 to slightly more than 200 because they feared no jury would believe the magnitude of York's evil. He was arrested in May 2002, convicted in 2004, and sentenced to 135 years in prison.
