Richard Robert Mantha faces 20 charges that include kidnapping, threats causing bodily harm, sexual assault with a weapon and administering a noxious substance.

He was arrested in 2023 but his trial, which began last year , was delayed after he fired his lawyer and after the accused suffered a stroke months later .

A forensic psychiatrist assessed Mantha to determine how the stroke may have affected his cognitive capacity and said he was fit to stand trial.
