Kissimmee imam's molestation trial delayed

The trial of a Kissimmee Muslim youth center director was delayed until January 2016 at a hearing Tuesday morning.

Helmi Agha, 40, was executive director of the American Muslim Youth Leadership Council when he was arrested in March and accused inappropriately touching a 15-year-old girl who attended events at the center.

He faced 12 counts of lewd and lascivious molestation, though four of those have since been dropped.

Agha, also known as Imam Abufarah, was born in Saudi Arabia to a Palestinian family and is not a U.S. citizen.
