BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – A jury has been selected in a trial over a local pastor accused of sexual abuse.

The jury was selected Tuesday, and the trial will proceed Wednesday for Rev. Roy Harriger, a pastor charged with three counts of coercive criminal sexual conduct against a child, one count of first degree incest, two counts of incest and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

Fifteen people across three states came out saying the 70-year-old molested them as children, and Harriger was arrested.
