A local pastor accused of sexually abusing a congregation member has been scheduled to stand trial next month, according to court records.
Larry Marshall Murrell, 63, is scheduled for a jury trial Dec. 9 before Judge Dan Bunch for second-degree sexual abuse and third-degree sexual abuse (two counts).
He was arrested Oct. 7 after allegedly forcing “deviate sexual intercourse” on the victim, an adult female, in February.
Murrell served for a number of years as reverend of the House of Prayer for All Nations church on Vine Street. When arraigned Oct. 8, Murrell was directed to have no contact with members of his congregation pending the outcome of his charges.
