Former Duncan assistant pastor Jody Hilliard was supposed to be arraigned in court Thursday, but a continuance has been granted and arraignment for his two alleged charges of lewd or indecent acts to a child under 12 has been moved to 9 a.m. on Nov. 3, according to District Attorney Jason Hicks.

Hilliard was arrested in April 2016 when detectives with the Duncan Police Department received a report from the Department of Social Services in the state where the victim resides advising them about an ongoing sexual abuse while the minor was in Duncan.

The report stated Hilliard allegedly touched the victim in her private parts without clothes on and made the victim touch Hilliard in his genital area.

According to Hicks, there was a conflict with the date of arraignment and the defense asked for a continuance and was granted the continuance.
