CINCINNATI (AP) — An Ohio priest accused of taking a 10-year-old boy to West Virginia for sex more than two decades ago faces federal trial in Cincinnati.
Robert Poandl (POHN’-duhl) of the Cincinnati-based Glenmary Home Missioners has pleaded not guilty. His trial was scheduled to begin Monday, after U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett rejected a defense motion to dismiss the case on statute of limitations grounds. The charges were filed 21 years after the alleged abuse while the two visited a church in Spencer, West Va., in 1991.
