Jacksonville, FL -- A First Coast pastor accused of molesting girls decades ago says he's innocent.
Dr. Bob Gray spoke up only to plead "not guilty" in front of a Duval County Judge Monday morning.
The 80-year-old man is the former pastor of Trinity Baptist Church.
Pastor Gray has been seen in a wheelchair recently but on Monday he walked into the courtroom.

Gray's family and one of the alleged victims attended the arraignment.
"It's been 30 or 32 years since I've seen him in person," says Sandy, one of Pastor Gray's alleged victims.
"The last time I saw him they picked me up at my house in their station wagon and took me to church. I was a young teenager and I have not seen him since."
He faces 3 counts of capital sexual battery. Prosecutors say the charges date back to the late 70s and early 80s.
