Pella — Though his defense attorney indicated otherwise at his last pretrial conference, there has been no action taken to reschedule the trial of former Pella pastor Patrick Edouard.

The trial is scheduled to begin Tuesday, Jan. 17, at 9:30 a.m., in Dallas County. The trial was moved from Marion County at the defendant’s request. Edouard is charged with three counts of third-degree sexual abuse and four counts of sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist.
