COLORADO SPRINGS. Father C. Robert Manning, in a brief appearance in El Paso County District Court on July 19, waived his right to a preliminary hearing on charges of sexual assault on a minor by a person in a position of trust and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

An arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 23.

Father Manning, a priest of the Archdiocese of St. Louis who resigned as St. Gabriel pastor in January, turned himself in to Colorado Springs police on May 22 after an arrest warrant was issued.
