NewzA federal judge has ruled that the former chief executive officer of Abercrombie & Fitch is mentally competent to stand trial on sex trafficking charges. The decision was reached after the former executive spent months hospitalized for symptoms associated with dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Previously, a court had declared the executive mentally incompetent last year amid reports that he was suffering from dementia and the late onset of Alzheimer's disease. Despite those earlier medical assessments and the extended hospitalization, the recent judicial ruling clears the way for the criminal proceedings to move forward.
