LOS ANGELES -- A former Roman Catholic priest's arraignment on child molestation charges has been postponed to Aug. 7.

George Miller, 69, of Oxnard made his first court appearance Wednesday, a day after being arrested on charges of molesting a boy between March 1988 and March 1991 while he was assigned to Guardian Angel Church in Pacoima.

Miller was charged with three felony counts of lewd acts on a child and three counts of sodomy of a person under 14, and remains jailed in lieu of $600,000 bail. He faces up to 18 years in prison if convicted of all charges.

A message left after business hours Wednesday with Miller's attorney, Steven Cron, was not immediately returned.
