The case of a former Kensington area Presbyterian minister accused of fraud-related crimes in Ontario will go to trial on Sept. 10.

The case of Harold Alan Stewart and his co-accused has been slowly winding its way through the Ontario court system since they were originally charged in November 2016.

Stewart was charged following an investigation by Ontario police named Project Banshee.

Police allege that Stewart and his co-accused befriended the victim, eventually gained access to her credit card and took out a mortgage against her property.

The victim's losses were about $160,000.

The charges against Stewart include one count of fraud under $5,000, two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card, four counts of fraud over $5,000, two counts of uttering a forged document, one count of laundering the proceeds of crime and one count of theft by power of attorney.
