Boonville — Gerald Howard, a former priest accused of sexual abuse, is next scheduled to appear in court on March 14.

His hearing on Monday morning in the 18th Circuit Court for Cooper County was postponed.

Howard, who once worked at Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, faces charges on suspicion of three counts of forcible sodomy, three counts of attempted forcible sodomy and two counts of kidnapping.

Cooper County Prosecutor Doug Abele said last week the defense remains in the discovery stage of the trial as it collects depositions from people all over the country.
