The defendant, charged with sexual assault and sexual interference, was found permanently unfit to stand trial.
The defense sought a stay of proceedings under s. 672.851(7) of the Criminal Code.
The court found the defendant permanently unfit and not currently a significant threat to public safety due to high levels of support.
However, the court dismissed the application for a stay, concluding that granting a stay would not be in the interests of the proper administration of justice, considering the serious nature of the alleged offences, the public interest in protecting children, and the potential for future changes in the defendant's supervision.
