	Ex-Pastor Pleads Not Guilty to Abuse By Rocco LaDuca Utica Observer Dispatch August 7, 2007 http://www.uticaod.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070807/NEWS/70807014 New York — The Rev. William Procanick, 53, pleaded not guilty to sex-abuse charges this morning in Oneida County Court. Procanick is charged with first-degree sex abuse and endangering the welfare of a child. He is due back in court Aug. 24 to decide whether he will accept a plea offer. He remains free on $20,000 bail. Procanick, pastor at Resurrection Assembly of God in Clinton, recently resigned prior to being indicted on charges that he allegedly touched a 7-year-old girl at his residence. The charges stem from an incident that prosecutors say occurred at his Kirkland Avenue residence in March, according to Oneida County court records. Procanick is accused of placing his hand on the young girl's buttocks and inner thigh, according to the grand jury indictment. He was arrested in April following an investigation by the Oneida County Child Advocacy Center, center law enforcement coordinator Kevin Revere said. The child disclosed the incident to an adult, Revere said. Contact: rladuca@utica.gannett.com
