MUNCIE — A Muncie pastor’s trial on allegations he sexually abused two teen members of his congregation has been postponed again, and is now set for next spring.
If Matthew A. Kidd, 56, stands trial as scheduled on April 22, more than four years will have passed since the filing of the charges against him: Child molesting and sexual misconduct with a minor, both Class C felonies carrying standard four-year prison terms.
Kidd, the pastor of Freedom Point Apostolic Church, is accused of abusing the then-teens, who are brothers, between 2002 and 2005.
A Delaware Circuit Court 3 jury last January deadlocked on the two charges pending against Kidd.
