OGDEN -- A man charged with second-degree felony forcible sexual abuse for allegedly groping a nurse who was helping the woman in labor with his child has been deemed competent to stand trial.
An attorney for 31-year-old Adam Jay Manning asked for a psychological evaluation of his client. On Tuesday 2nd District Court Judge Scott Hadley found Manning competent.
Ogden police have said Manning, of Bountiful, brought a pregnant woman to a hospital Oct. 9.
Manning allegedly made a comment about how cute the nurse was who came to help the couple. Ogden police Lt. Loring Draper has said he then allegedly told the nurse something looked wrong with her neck and attempted to massage it before grabbing her breast.
Manning was arrested and missed the birth of the child.
He is due in court again on Dec. 15.
