Pastor Charles Dickerson is still the senior pastor at the Pearly Grove Baptist Church, but for the next few weeks, he'll spend most of his time standing trial for allegedly molesting and raping his two teenaged step-daughters.


The pastor maintained little reaction as prosecutor Arturo Corona began detailing how Dickerson allegedly groped one step-daughter while laying naked in his bed, and on another occasion raped that same teenager while she was two months pregnant.

But Defense Attorney Glenn LoStracco says both of Dickerson's daughters have since recanted their accusations against their step-father.

He says they made up the stories of sexual abuse in order to get their mother to kick the overly strict father out of the house.

The first witnesses are expected to testify on Tuesday.
