The fraud case against a former Kensington area Presbyterian minister is set to return to an Ontario courthouse on Dec. 4.
Harold Alan Stewart, 67, is facing 11 fraud-related charges in Durham Region Courthouse.
The case has most recently been conducting a preliminary hearing. The Dec. 4 court appearance is to allow that process to continue.
Stewart was charged in November 2016, following an investigation Ontario police called Project Banshee.
Police allege that Stewart and his co-accused befriended the victim and eventually gained access to her credit card and took out a mortgage against her property. The victim's losses were about $160,000.
The remaining charges against him include one count of fraud under $5,000, two counts of fraudulent use of credit card, four counts of fraud over $5,000, two counts of uttering a forged document, one count of laundering the proceedings of crime and one count of theft by power of attorney.
