Schlensker hearing postponed;

A Superior Court judge on Monday postponed setting a new trial date for a woman whose conviction on charges of unlawful sex with a boy in her church youth group was overturned on appeal. 

Ember Dawn Schlensker, 32, appeared before Judge Donald Segerstrom with her attorney, Michael Chastaine, of the Sacramento area. 

Chastaine said he only recently became Schlensker’s attorney and asked for more time before a trial date is set.

Segerstrom rescheduled the hearing for 1:30 p.m. July 18 in Department 1. 

Segerstrom also told Chastaine that, because the trial was first heard in Department 2, he will likely schedule it in Department 1, over which Segerstrom presides. 

The first trial, held in 2013, took about two weeks. 

 

In February, the 5th District Court of Appeal overturned her conviction.
