A Redding pastor charged with 31 criminal counts, including 22 felonies alleging he molested three girls over a seven-year span, won’t be having his preliminary hearing anytime soon.
James Gladwell Crawford, who has been released from Shasta County Jail after his bail was set last week at $1 million, was back in Shasta County Superior Court on Thursday where his preliminary hearing scheduled for next week was postponed because his defense attorney will be in trial.
With Crawford now out of jail, he was ordered by Judge Cara Beatty to not have any contact with children under the age of 15 without another adult being present.
He’s due back in Superior Court on March 28 to reset the date of his preliminary hearing.
