Exclusive: Exile Content Studio, the Latinx-led Hollywood production company, is launching true-crime podcast Sacred Scandal, about the investigation into the 2001 murder of Sister Michelle Lewis, a Miami nun, by Mykhaylo Kofel, a teenage monk.
Kofel had been recruited in Ukraine by a man posing as a Catholic priest and brought to Miami’s Holy Cross Academy, where he witnessed and endured four years of improper behavior and alleged sexual abuse.
After confessing to the nun’s murder, Kofel (who was 18 at the time) was convicted and sentenced to a 30-year-term at Martin Correctional Institution in Indiantown, Fl, while the bogus priest Father Wendt and his partner Father Damian were able to walk away without punishment when the investigation was abruptly closed.
Sacred Scandal is hosted and co-produced by Chilean-born comedian and voice actress Paula Barros and Chilean-born documentary filmmaker Melanie Bartley (Full Dress). Dennis Funk is also executive producer for the podcast,...
