The two former leaders of the Moravian church group charged with having sex with a girl when she was 12 and 14 years old are to make their first court appearance Wednesday.
Rev Dr Paul Gardner, former president of the church body, and his ex-deputy Jermaine Gibson are scheduled to appear in the Manchester Parish 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.
Both men were offered station bail in the sum of $300,000 each following their arrests by the Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA).
