Prosecutors and the defense team in the trial of an Ohio priest suspected of taking a 10-year-old boy to West Virginia for sex more than two decades ago have selected the jury that will hear the proceedings.

Robert Poandl of the Cincinnati-based Glenmary Home Missioners has pleaded not guilty.

Poandl's trial began Monday after U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett rejected a defense motion to dismiss the case on statute of limitations grounds. The charges were filed 21 years after the abuse allegedly occurred while the two visited the West Virginia church.
