SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — A man accused of kidnapping and sexually abusing two Amish girls in northern New York is due in court to change his plea of not guilty.
Stephen Howells and girlfriend Nicole Vaisey were charged last year by federal prosecutors with sexually exploiting the Amish girls and four other children.
Trial for both is set for July 6 on charges they coerced minors to make pornographic videos.
Howells is to be in court Friday for a change-of-plea hearing before U.S. District Judge Glenn Suddaby in Syracuse. Howells and Vaisey also face state kidnapping charges.
