(KMZA)--A Seneca man, accused of rape and other child-related sex crimes, will undergo an evaluation to determine if he’s competent to stand trial.
That comes after a Nemaha County judge granted a motion filed by the attorney for 21-year-old Brandon Ogden for an evaluation by KANZA Mental Health.
A preliminary hearing for Ogden, which had been set for Tuesday, was placed on hold pending the outcome of the mental evaluation.
Ogden faces charges of rape, aggravated indecent liberties with a child and aggravated sodomy.
The criminal complaint alleges that Ogden on August 26 of last year engaged in sexual intercourse, lewd fondling or touching and sodomy with a child under 14 years of age.
He was arrested the same day following a joint investigation by the Seneca Police Department and the Nemaha County Sheriff’s Office.
Ogden remains in the Nemaha County Jail, held on a one million dollar bond.
