Choirmaster, charged with sexual abuse, remains in custody

A Prague court has ruled that Bambini di Praga choirmaster Bohumil Kulinsky, awaiting trial for the alleged sexual abuse of underage girls, will remain in custody.

The district court agreed with the prosecution that there was danger the accused might influence witnesses - and extended the three-month deadline.
