VANCEBURG | A former Lewis County preacher, currently facing sexual abuse charges, has been scheduled for a competency hearing.
Duncan Aker, of Greensburg, Ind. and formerly, Vanceburg, will appear at the hearing on Feb. 3, at 10 a.m. in order for the court to decide if he is competent to stand trial for his charges.
A pretrial hearing has also been scheduled for March 4.
Aker was arrested in May 2015, and charged with five counts of sexual abuse and four counts of sodomy after a Lewis County grand jury handed down an indictment against him in April 2015.
