A small group of Community Fellowship Church members accompanied their pastor into Town of Yates Court on Wednesday night in a show of support.
The Rev. Roy Harriger Sr. is facing charges of molesting children.
About eight members of the Community Fellowship Church in the Town of Hartland accompanied the 70-year-old pastor into Town of Yates Court where he pleaded not guilty to charges of incest and sodomy of a young boy and girl about 12 years ago.
Harriger is free on bail after posting a quarter million dollars bail last week. His supporters have a hard time believing the charges against him.
Supporter Donna Kidney does not believe the allegations.
“He’ll bend over backwards to help people and I think these charges are ridiculous,” she told Channel 4 News. “I know he did not do it. He’s innocent. I know in my spirit that he’s innocent.”
