The trial of a former church deacon on trafficking charges has been set for April 15.
The trial was originally set for today but was postponed this morning.
Donovan Jones, 48, was arrested for trafficking a 14 year old schoolgirl in 2006, after an exclusive report in The Gleaner.
Two male teenagers were also arrested for sexual offences for fondling the schoolgirl, while another video-recorded the incidents.
After he was arrested and charged, Jones resigned from his position as a deacon of the Church Dayton Diamond Ridge.
Earlier this year, two of the teenagers were put on a two-year probation, while the third was reprimanded and released.
