LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) — The trial for a former Louisville priest accused of sex abuse has been delayed. James Schook was supposed to go on trial Monday, but both sides agreed that he can be evaluated by a state psychiatric facility.
Schook is accused of abusing two boys in the 1970s, but was just charged in 2011.
Last week, his attorneys said Schook was too sick to go on trial due to his having terminal skin cancer. The case has been delayed before because doctors said Schook might not live until the end of the year.
