MARYVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A judge has appointed attorneys for a pair of church youth ministers charged with sexually abusing teenage girls.

The Knoxville News Sentinel is reporting that General Sessions Court Judge William R. Brewer appointed attorney Stacey Nordquist of the public defender's office to represent Laura Lee Click Salazar. Attorney Troy Bowlin of Knoxville will represent her husband, Michael R. Salazar. Both are 35.

Neither attorney returned telephone messages Friday from The Associated Press seeking comment about the case.

The Salazars face charges they committed statutory rape and sexual battery against three teenage girls at their apartment near Alcoa. The girls attended The Lord's Disciples Church, where the Salazars were youth ministers.

Another court hearing was set for Sept. 8. The two remain in custody on bond of $300,000 for him and $100,000 for her.
