A plea hearing scheduled for Monday in the sex-abuse case for Woodburn priest Angel Armando Perez has been postponed.
Marion County Circuit Judge Thomas Hart, who was assigned to hear the case, recused himself from the case Monday morning. He declined through his clerk to comment on his reasons.
Prosecutors and attorneys for the 46-year-old priest are scheduled to meet for a status conference with the new judge assigned to the case, Marion County Circuit Judge Susan Tripp, on Monday, Sept. 24.
