Court records confirm that a Chilton County judge has denied the request to dismiss an indictment charging suspended Jefferson County district attorney Charles Todd Henderson with perjury.

Henderson was indicted by a special grand jury on Jan. 14. He is accused of lying under oath about a relationship he had with a woman in the center of a divorce case during a hearing in September 2016. The Alabama State Bar sent information to the office of then-Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange, which led to an investigation.

In February, Henderson pleaded not guilty to the charge. because they claimed the indictment does not specify the exact questions and responses Henderson gave that prompted the perjury charge. Chilton County Circuit Court Judge Sibley Reynolds, who is presiding over Henderson's case because Jefferson County judges recused themselves, denied the request according to court records filed on Thursday.

The jury trial for the case is scheduled for Monday at 10 a.m. in the Jefferson County Courthouse.
