WAUKEGAN, Ill. (AP) – The trial has been delayed for a Benedictine monk from Wisconsin charged in Illinois with trying to abduct four girls.
The Daily Herald reports Tuesday (http://bit.ly/11w0yMt) that attorneys pushed 57-year-old Thomas Chmura’s trial to Sept. 25. Chmura is free on $50,000 bond and has pleaded not guilty.
He lived at St. Benedict’s Abbey in Benet Lake, Wis. He was arrested based on a description provided by 1 of the girls.
The judge has restricted Chmura to living with his father in the Chicago suburb of Lansing. Chmura also can’t have contact with anyone under age 17.
