UPDATED::Sandusky Register | Child rape suspect gets new trial


UPDATE::  Former pastor facing sex charges out on bond
A former pastor facing sex charges involving children was released from the Erie County jail on bond.

Richard Mick, 57, posted an $80,000 bond March 21 to be released from the jail, according to Erie County common pleas court records. Jail records state he was jailed for 181 days.
 An Ohio appeals court said a Sandusky pastor previously sentenced to life in prison for child rape must receive a new trial.

Richard Mick, 56, who was sentenced in Erie County Common Pleas Court in 2016, had his conviction overturned Friday by the Sixth District Court of Appeals. A jury originally found Mick guilty of four felony charges of rape and gross sexual imposition.

Mick, formerly a pastor at Lighthouse Baptist Church, appealed his conviction after his trial was notably marked by his then-attorney K. Ronald Bailey refusing to participate in the trial.
