<span style="font-weight: bold"> Confirmed : Televangelist Paul Lewis carnal abuse trial stalls again ( Gleaner )...</span>
In a bizarre twist the trial of Jamaica-born televangelist Reverend Dr. Paul Lewis was stalled as the mothers of the two complainants in his carnal abuse case, fell ill overnight and were unable to attend court for today's sitting. As a consequence, the seven-member jury will convene until Thursday, November 11 when the trial is expected to get underway in the Westmoreland Circuit Court. The trial was scheduled to begin on Monday, but the matter had to be adjourned after one of the jurors failed to return after the lunch break. Allegations against Dr. Lewis in the carnal abuse matter are that in June 2009, he met a 15-year-old girl at a church convention in Little London,Westmoreland, where he was a guest preacher. He allegedly exchanged telephone numbers with the girl, and in a subsequent meeting, took her and a 14-year-old female companion with him on a trip to Clarendon. It is said that on their return to Westmoreland, the girls stayed with him at his Negril hotel. It was during that night that the alleged sexual encounter took place Dr. Lewis will also answer to perverting the course of justice on Thursday in the Savanna-la-Mar Resident Magistrate Court. Allegations have emerged that a witness was allegedly paid to coax the girls involved in the carnal abuse matter. His $300,000 bail in the carnal abuse matter is extended. He is also out of $300,000 bail in the perversion of justice charge
