The trial for a former church volunteer accused of sexually abusing young boys will begin Monday with jury selection, an Orange County prosecutor said Wednesday.
It was unclear until this week whether the trial would be delayed while the district attorney’s office worked out getting a witness who lives out of the country to the courtroom.
Officials have secured a visa for the man and can move forward, prosecutor Heather Brown said.
The witness is one of seven people whom officials allege Christopher McKenzie, 48, sexually assaulted over more than a decade.
McKenzie is facing 24 felony charges related to child pornography and sexual abuse of minors, according to court records. He has pleaded not guilty to all 24 counts.
