VANCEBURG | A former Lewis County preacher who currently faces sexual abuse charges, was found to be competent to stand trial during a recent circuit court appearance.
Duncan Aker of Greensburg, Ind., and formerly of Vanceburg, was arrested in May 2015, and charged with five counts of sexual abuse and four counts of sodomy after a Lewis County grand jury handed down an indictment against him in April 2015.
According to the indictment, Aker allegedly engaged in sexual intercourse and sexual contact through forcible compulsion with a male under the age of 12 between October 2007 and March 2010.
The indictment also states that Aker allegedly committed some of the offenses in the church where he was minister.
