Florida 'Cult Leader' Charged In Death Of Toddler From The 80s

A woman who once ran a Florida boarding school and was described as a cult leader has been charged in the 1980s death of a toddler who authorities say was tortured and denied food.

Anna Elizabeth Young, 75, was arrested near Atlanta on Friday. 

Young is accused of causing the death of Emon Harper, who was 2- or 3-years-old at the time. 

Young operated the religious boarding school House of Prayer for All People near Gainesville from about 1985 to 1995.

Police say there may be other child victims linked to Young. In 2001, she was convicted of child abuse for bathing a child in a tub full of chemicals.

Details about the Harper death were not immediately available.
