	Case Review Set for Sw Mo. Pastor Accused of Abuse Belleville News-Democrat December 11, 2009 http://www.bnd.com/336/story/1046450.html NEVADA, Mo. -- A southwest Missouri pastor charged more than two years ago with abusing children in his congregation has a case review hearing scheduled in court later this month. George Otis Johnston, of Granby, has pleaded not guilty to several counts of child molestation and statutory sodomy. The charges were filed in 2007 and stem from alleged incidents from 1998 to 2006. The case began when a handful of young women from Grand Valley Independent Baptist Church and Grandview Valley Baptist Church North told authorities they had been sexually abused, some since the 1970s. Johnston's case review hearing is scheduled for Dec. 22 in Vernon County Circuit Court.
