The trial of a prominent Toronto Pastor on sex charges continues in Kentville court.
The alleged victim testified yesterday saying he remembers Reverand Brent Hawkes leading him naked down a hall to a bedroom at Hawkes trailer in Greenwood and then forcing himself on the teen who was under 18 at the time…and can’t be named. Hawkes is on trial on charges of gross indency and indecent assault.
