The two former leaders of the Moravian church group charged with having sex with a girl when she was 12 and 14 years old had their bails extended when they appeared in the Manchester Parish Court on Wednesday.
Rev Dr Paul Gardner, former president of the church body, and his ex-deputy Jermaine Gibson had their bails extended until next Wednesday, when both are scheduled to return to court.
Both men were arrested Monday, January 23 and charged with carnal abuse in relation to the reported incident that occurred in 2002 and two years later when the child was 14 years old.
Gibson allegedly had a sexual relationship with the complainant when she was 12 years old. Gardner allegedly also engaged in sexual relations with her when she was 14.
