ALBION, N.Y.- An Orleans County pastor accused of inappropriate contact with three different children pleaded not guilty after an Orleans County grand jury Monday indicted him on multiple sex abuse charges.

Reverend Roy Harriger, 70, is accused of having sexual misconduct with three different children who were under the age of 11 at the time.

Harriger is also facing three separate counts of incest.

After pleading not guilty, Harriger asked the judge if he could go to church. The judge however denied that request saying that Harriger can not be around any children 18 years old or younger and that doing so would revoke his bail.

Harriger remains a free man after he had previously posted a $250,000 bail
