MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - A part-time Alabama preacher has pleaded not Anthony Hopkins is also accused of sexually abusing a teenage relative who prosecutors say is pregnant with his baby. The 37-year-old Hopkins also pleaded not guilty in a Mobile court today to separate charges of sexual abuse, rape, sodomy and incest. The judge has set bond at $750,000 on the murder charge and $10,000 on each of the sex charges. Prosecutors describe Hopkins as a flight risk, noting he once went AWOL from the Army and has ties in at least four other states.
