A DC Superior Court judge found a sexual abuse defendant incompetent to stand trial on July 16.
Leroy McGill allegedly sexually assaulted a victim on March 28. The crime was reported, by the victim, at the Eastern Market metro station on the 700 block of Pennsylvania Ave, SE. McGill is charged with a misdemeanor offense for sexual abuse and simple assault.
The preliminary competency exam was ordered on June 23. Since the psychiatrist deemed McGill not competent to stand trial, he was sent to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, DC’s psychiatric institution, for mental health treatment.
“She said I could sit next to her and touch her,” the defendant told the arresting officer on the day of the crime.
The defendant allegedly touched and grabbed the victim’s thigh at some point between the Stadium-Armory and Potomac Avenue metro stations, according to court documents.
McGill’s next hearing is scheduled for Aug. 14.
