	Priest Sex Abuse Case Delayed Again WDRB September 27, 2011 http://www.wdrb.com/story/15568611/priest-sex-abuse-case-delayed-again A man who says he was sexually abused by a Louisville priest says he's frustrated the case is moving so slowly. The defense asked for another 60 days to gather information for Reverend James Schook's trial, saying it's difficult to locate records from the 1970's. A Jefferson County grand jury indicted Schook on seven counts of sodomy involving two alleged underaged male victims in 1971 and 1972. Schook was temporarily removed from the ministry in July 2009, when he was serving as pastor of St. Ignatius Martyr Church on Rangeland Road. Victim Michael Stansberry says, "It makes me very upset, second postponement, not prepared for this mentally and physically, I feel bad for all the other victims." Schook remains a priest, but in 2010, the Archdiocese of Louisville permanently suspended Schook after it found the claims were valid. The judge granted a new pre-trial date for November.
