HONESDALE — A former United Methodist Church minister charged with molesting a boy repeatedly over a 10-year period asked for a formal preliminary hearing during an appearance Wednesday in Wayne County Central Court.
Norman T. Faux, 54, of Lake Ariel, is accused of abusing the boy, now 19, from the time the boy was 9 years old until a few weeks ago.
Faux will now have a preliminary hearing scheduled before Magisterial District Judge Bonnie L. Carney. The time was not set.
State police in Honesdale charged Faux with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with someone less than 16 years old and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, three counts of aggravated indecent assault and one count of indecent assault.
Faux was arraigned Saturday, was unable to post $150,000 bail and was jailed in Wayne County Correctional Facility. He asked for a reduction in bail during Wednesday’s proceeding, but was denied by Magisterial District Judge Ted Mikulak. Unable to post bail, he was sent back to prison.
