A former Derry man accused of sexually assaulting teenage girls over the last year was declared competent to stand trial on Friday.
The Trib reports that 20-year-old Christopher Fraser was charged with having improper sexual contact with children aged 12 to 16 years. Fraser had previously undergone a psychological evaluation to determine if ongoing mental health issues prevented him from assisting in his own defense.
Assistant District Attorney Katie Ranker said prosecutors have offered Fraser a deal to plead guilty in all five cases in return for a 30- to 60-year prison sentence. That deal could be revised after prosecutors review the scope of the cases and other factors.
