SAN BERNARDINO >> The Muscoy pastor accused of child molestation is scheduled to return to court in May.
Stephen James Howard, 54, of Fontana was present and in custody Tuesday at the San Bernardino Superior Courthouse for a pre-preliminary hearing, which was continued until May 16, according to court records.
Howard, the pastor at Muscoy United Methodist Church, was arrested March 13 on suspicion of molesting two boys who at one time attended the church, San Bernardino County sheriff’s detectives said.
He was originally booked into the Central Detention Center in San Bernardino for suspicion of lewd acts with a child under 14, oral copulation with a person under 18, and sodomy with a person under 18.
