LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Closing arguments are expected in a sexual abuse case involving a Louisville priest.
The defense didn’t call a single witness to the stand in the case against Reverend James Schook, hoping the jury will simply take into account that the witnesses against Schook waited several decades to come forward with abuse allegations, and that at least one may be in it for the money.
LMPD detective Rebecca Sanders was the first and only witness to take the stand today.
On Tuesday, we heard from the two accusers who painted a picture of years of abuse at the hands of Rev. Schook.
They say the abuse took place at multiple churches in Louisville, and spanned several years.
