(Spencer, Roane County) A Cincinnati priest is scheduled to appear in court Friday morning on sexual abuse charges filed in Roane County.

Father Robert Poandl is accused of molesting a 10-year-old boy who had traveled with him to Spencer in 1991. Roane County Prosecutors say Poandl was a friend of the boy's family. Eighteen years later, the victim, now 28, has come forward.

A Roane County Grand Jury has indicted Poandl on charges of first degree sexual abuse, first degree sexual assault, and sexual abuse by a custodian. A formal arraignment in Roane County Circuit Court is schedule for 10:00 a.m. Friday.

Meanwhile, Poandl remains free on bond, but he is currently not allowed to perform any duties as a Catholic Priest.
