ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) - A Massachusetts man charged with sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl has been found incompetent to stand trial.
The Sun Chronicle reports that a state forensic psychologist testified Thursday in District Court that 37-year-old Thomas Norad wasn’t mentally competent to help his attorney or understand legal proceedings.
A judge accepted the recommendation and ordered Norad be sent to a state mental health treatment facility.
