(KMZA)--A Seneca man, accused of rape and other child-related sex crimes, has been found competent to stand trial.
The Nemaha County Attorney’s Office said a judge made the determination during a hearing Thursday in the case against 21-year-old Brandon Ogden, based on an evaluation conducted by KANZA Mental Health.
A judge in February granted a motion filed by Ogden’s attorney for the evaluation.
A new preliminary hearing date will now be set in the case.
Ogden faces charges of rape, aggravated indecent liberties with a child and aggravated sodomy.
The criminal complaint alleges Ogden on August 26 of last year engaged in sexual intercourse, lewd fondling or touching and sodomy with a child under 14.
He was arrested the same day following a joint investigation by the Seneca Police Department and Nemaha County Sheriff’s Office.
Ogden remains in the Nemaha County Jail, held on a one million dollar bond.
