The application to have the sex cases of two Moravian clergymen transferred to Kingston from Manchester was again postponed Thursday.
The matter is now rescheduled for May 24 in the Manchester Circuit Court. The postponement this time is due to the prosecution asking for time to peruse documents disclosed on it by the defence.
The prosecution is to ask for the case against Rev Paul Gardner and Pastor Jermaine Gibson to be transferred to the Home Circuit Court for trial.
Gardner and Gibson were arrested Monday, January 23 and charged with carnal abuse in relation to the reported incident that occurred in 2002 and 2004.
