The expected application to have the sex cases of two Moravian clergymen transferred to Kingston from Manchester for trial has been postponed.
The application is now rescheduled for next week Thursday, March 2, in the Manchester Circuit Court.
The postponement is due to the fact that the accused men — Rev Paul Gardner and Pastor Jermaine Gibson — were late for court.
Gibson, who was vice president of the Moravian church in Jamaica, allegedly had a sexual relationship with the complainant when she was 12 years old.
Allegedly, Gardner, who resigned the presidency of the Moravian church, also engaged in sexual relations with the girl when she was 14.
