A Toledo man accused of raping a woman on the Bowling Green State University campus will undergo a not guilty by reason of insanity evaluation.
Assad Girad, 24, appeared March 4 in the courtroom of Wood County Common Pleas Judge Molly Mack.
She ordered the Court Diagnostic and Treatment Center to evaluate Girad to determine whether he is competent to stand trial.
A hearing on the center’s findings will be held April 14.
Girad posted an $80,000 bond on March 8 and was released from jail.
He was indicted in May for rape and kidnapping, both first-degree felonies, and tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony.
On April 1, the alleged victim invited Girad to watch a movie with friends and clearly told him prior to his arrival she did not want sexual conduct with him, according to court documents.
Once the movie ended and they were alone, they kissed briefly and then Girad lifted her shirt. She told him no, and he allegedly raped her while she pleaded with him to stop. He then put her on the floor, covered her mouth and nose with his hand and continued his assault, according to the documents.
The incident reportedly happened in the Kriescher-Darrow lounge on the BGSU campus.
The kidnapping charge is due to Girad allegedly restraining the woman.
He also allegedly concealed or removed evidence with the purpose of impairing its value to the investigation.
