Judge Lorna Shelly Williams today denied the application to transfer the case involving Moravian ministers Paul Gardner and Jermaine Gibson to Kingston from Mandeville.

The ministers were both implicated in sexual incidents involving a minor.

An application for transfer was initially made on the basis that the case would be tried, bias free, among other concerns, if it was held in Kingston.

However, Gardner and Gibson will be tried in the parish court on January 23, 2018.
