A former youth pastor charged here and in Colorado on sexual abuse charges will not go to trial here in May.
In Henderson Circuit Court on Monday, Ike Norment, defense attorney for John H. Brothers Jr., 42, asked Judge Karen Wilson to vacate the May 17 trial date, since Brothers is currently in custody in Colorado on sex abuse-related charges.
Norment said Brothers’ has a preliminary hearing in a Colorado court in late May and asked Wilson to grant a pretrial date of July 2. Norment said by that time, he and local prosecutors hopefully would know more about what’s happening with the Colorado case.
Wilson granted the July 2 pretrial date.
