CINCINNATI (AP) — A federal prosecutor told jurors that an Ohio priest took a 10-year-old boy to West Virginia for sex more than two decades ago and raped him there.
The accusation was made in opening statements Monday in the priest’s trial in Cincinnati. Robert Poandl (POHN’duhl) has pleaded not guilty to a charge of knowingly transporting a minor in interstate commerce for sex.
Poandl’s attorney told jurors that the allegations are not true and that the evidence will show that Poandl did not even take the boy to West Virginia.
