Dec. 16 pre-trial hearing set for Neosho minister

A Dec. 16 pre-trial hearing is scheduled in McDonald County Circuit Court for Randall Danny Russell, 50, Neosho, minister of Acts II Church in Neosho.

Russell faces two charges of sexual exploitation of a minor and a forgery charge. The cases are being heard in McDonald County on a change of venue from Newton County.

Initially, Russell's jury trial on seven counts of statutory sodomy and two counts of child molestation was scheduled for Dec. 16, but court records indicate Russell's attorney has asked for a postponement because of incomplete discovery.

The Joplin Globe never prints any news, why isn't this known to the public? I guess robbing the IRS is above printing for Public Servants? Hope she enjoys her free Victoria's Secrets.

Me thinks you're confusing this minister with the McDonald County prosecutor.
