CINCINNATI (FOX19) - A Cincinnati-area priest accused of raping a 10-year-old altar boy three decades ago will now stand trial Oct. 25, court officials said Monday.
The trial for Father Geoff Drew was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Monday, but it was changed after his lawyer said he requested more time. This is the third delay for the trial in the past 14 months, court records show.
Father Drew, 59, has pleaded not guilty to nine counts of rape and remains at the Hamilton County Justice Center in lieu of $5 million bond.
