Judge orders competency hearing for Ohio woman who accused employer of rape
An Ohio woman was ordered to undergo a competency hearing after she accused her employer of rape.
Dani Brewer had been working as a branch manager in a new office for about a month when she said her employer – a family friend – sexually assaulted her in October, reported WXIX-TV.
She reported the attack late last year, but the case has not yet gone to trial.
Brewer said a judge ordered a hearing this week to determine whether she was competent – which both she and her attorneys believe is unfair. “It’s really ridiculous that it’s being required of me,” Brewer said. “It’s insulting, it’s invasive, it’s upsetting, and I feel like I’m on trial.”
The Justice League of Ohio, a victims advocacy legal group, is baffled by the judge’s order.
