HAMMOND | A federal judge agreed Tuesday to delay sentencing former Hammond megachurch Pastor Jack Schaap over the objection of his attorney, federal court records show.
U.S. District Judge Rudy Lozano granted a motion by federal prosecutors to delay sentencing for the government to determine victim restitution in the case and respond to Schaap's objections to sentencing recommendations.
Schaap, the former head pastor of the First Baptist Church of Hammond, pleaded guilty Sept. 26 to having sex with a 16-year-old church girl.
Defense attorney Paul Stracci objected to the delay in sentencing. He argued prosecutors have had enough time to calculate restitution, court records show.
Lozano reset the sentencing hearing for 1 p.m. March 12 in federal court in Hammond.
