MANCHESTER, Jamaica — Former Moravian Church president Rev Dr Paul Gardner and his deputy Jermaine Gibson who made their appearance at the Manchester Circuit Court this morning had their bail extended again.

The men are answering to carnal abuse and indecent assault charges and are due back in court on February 23.

OBSERVER ONLINE understands that the two had their bail extended last Wednesday at the Manchester Parish Court; however their matter were moved upstairs to the Circuit Court this morning. It was not clear if their bails were extended due to the change in courts.

Attorney-At-Law, Pierre Rogers represented both men today. He is the lawyer for Gibson, while Peter Champaignie is the attorney representing Gardner.

Meanwhile, the Crown has made an application for the matter to be heard elsewhere.
