On Tuesday, a judge will hear more on the case against a former Muscle Shoals children’s pastor accused of sexually abusing children at his church.
The hearing is a preliminary one, in which the prosecutor will likely try to prove probable cause to a judge that the crime was committed and that Jeff Eddie committed it.
The whole case won’t be laid out, but at the end of the hearing, if a judge finds probable cause, they will send the case to a grand jury.
Jeff Eddie has been in jail since he was arrested on Feb. 4. He’s been charged with multiple counts of sodomy, sexual abuse of a child and having child pornography.
Eddie was the children’s pastor at Highland Park Baptist Church in Muscle Shoals, and that is where investigators said he found his victims.
