Three attempts to call Mr. Jenkins on Thursday at the Value Creators were not successful. A woman who answered the phone said that she was familiar with Ms. Ross’s case but that neither Mr. Jenkins nor the organization would comment. “I am pretty sure no one will be calling you,” she said.

Asked if there was a lawyer, she said there would be no comment.

The judgment offered a glimpse into the evolution of the cult. Mr. Jenkins, its spiritual leader, belonged to the Nation of Islam until he split with it in 1978. He said he was abducted by “angels and/or scientists” and returned to earth to create the United Nation of Islam.

He formed communities and businesses in Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Ohio, and named his community in Kansas City “Heaven.”

The United Nation of Islam controlled every aspect of its followers’ lives, including women’s weight and marriages in which men bid on women. It punished followers by shunning. It created an education system using Mr. Jenkins’s teachings and dispensed medical care, the judgment says.

In 2015, the group was renamed the Value Creators, promoting restaurants, health products, agriculture and life coaching.

The Value Creators publishes teachings on its website and Facebook page with what looks like a spaceship hovering over gold bars. Online posts feature writing by leaders called God William and God Ephraim.

Mr. Jenkins is known as “Royall Allah” by the Value Creators and “Allah in Person” on his blog and other sites. He has 13 “wives” or “concubines” and approximately 20 children, the court documents said.
