Rochester, N.Y.- The trial for a pastor accused of having sexual contact with a child is scheduled to start in June.

Joe Flowers is the founder of Walk of Life Christian Center in Rochester.

In September, he pleaded not guilty to the charge of course of sexual conduct against a child.

Investigators say the abuse happened for three years.

In court on Tuesday, Judge James Piampiano denied a request by Flowers' defense attorney to lower bail.

If convicted of the charges against him, Flowers could spend seven years in prison.
