The Rev. F. David Broussard’s trial date on child pornography charges remains set for Nov. 27, according to court officials and the office of the accused man’s defense attorney.
Broussard is scheduled to appear before Judge Vincent J. Borne of St. Mary Parish in 16th Judicial District Court in St. Martinville.
The Diocese of Lafayette priest, suspended from his duties after his July 2016 arrest, is accused of possessing more than 500 images of child sex abuse on his personal computer. A diocesan priest for more than two decades, he most recently was assigned to St. Bernard Roman Catholic Church in Breaux Bridge, where he also served as chancellor of the church school.
He remained free on $25,000 bond.
