A 73-year-old Atchison man will have an evaluation to see if he is competent to stand trial on a sex charge.
Atchison County Judge Martin Asher gave the order for Norman Longbrake to be sent to Larned State Hospital Friday in Atchison County District Court.
As a result, his trial on a charge of aggravated indecent liberties with a child that was scheduled for June 26th has been put on hold.
He pleaded not guilty to the count in April.
His attorney, Rex Lane, filed a motion earlier this month, believing that Longbrake may be suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s-related symptoms.
Longbrake is accused of allegedly engaging in unlawful sexual conduct with a nine year old girl in January of this year.
Longbrake remains in jail on 200 thousand dollars bond.
It could be several months before the evaluation is complete.
