COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A former Colorado Springs Police officer who is accused of molesting children is scheduled to be in court Thursday.

Josh Carrier is due in court for a preliminary hearing Thursday morning.

Two days have been set aside for the hearing because victims are expected to testify.

Earlier, a judge ruled he would allow Carrier's alleged victims to testify through closed circuit television.

Carrier faces multiple counts of possessing child pornography and is accused of sexually assaulting at least 15 children.
