ASTORIA, Ore. (AP) - An August trial has been scheduled for an Astoria man accused of sexually abusing a girl over a five-year span.
The Daily Astorian reports (https://is.gd/1Xw8Sg ) that 45-year-old Michael Mitchell is charged with 30 counts of first-degree sexual abuse, two counts of tampering with a witness and one count of bribing a witness. Court documents say the alleged abuse occurred between 2007 and 2012.
The trial is set to start Aug. 11 and last three to five days.
