The former Boonville priest suspected in several sexual assaults has not acquired an attorney, Cooper County Prosecutor Doug Abele said this afternoon.
At a hearing Monday, Gerald Howard “indicated that he was looking to retain private counsel,” Abele said.
A decision about Howard’s counsel status is expected to be made during the court’s next law day June 14, Abele said.
