A Saginaw County priest accused of sexual assault wants more time to prepare his case.

71-year-old Fr Robert Deland is waving his rights to a preliminary hearing in 21 days.

He’s charged with two cases of sexual assault while he was the pastor of St. Agnes Catholic Church.

The assistant prosecutor in the case says police are still getting calls about other suspects.
