ST. CLAIRSVILLE — A trial date has been set for former Martins Ferry volunteer fire chief William Rinderer.

Belmont County Common Pleas Judge Chris Berhalter scheduled a jury trial for Aug. 13 at 9:30 a.m.

Rinderer appeared before Berhalter on Monday morning.

He was indicted last week on one count each of gross sexual imposition and pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor.

On Monday, Rinderer’s bond remained unchanged from when he was indicted at $75,000, with certain conditions.

Berhalter said Rinderer is to have no contact with the alleged victim or any minors.

The judge also scheduled a pretrial hearing for June 29 at 10 a.m.

A plea agreement hearing was set for July 27 at 10 a.m.

Rinderer served as fire chief more than 20 years ago and most recently was a member of the volunteer fire department’s Vigilant Station. He is no longer affiliated with the department.
