Fred King will stand trial for charges related to sexual and physical assault at church.
(Owen Sound) –
The trial of a man known as “the Prophet” at the Church of Jesus Christ Restored in Chatsworth gets underway today.
57 year old Fred King is facing 24 charges related to the time he was leader of the Church.
Three weeks have been set aside for the case to be heard in Owen Sound Superior Court.
It is not a jury trial — as King elected to be tried by Judge alone.
The charges date from 1978 to 2008 and include sexual exploitation, sexual interference, three counts of sexual assault, and three counts of assault causing bodily harm.
