Psych eval ordered for accused SD child molester

 

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - A judge has ordered a psychiatric evaluation

for a 44-year-old Pierre man who could face life in prison if

convicted of child sex crimes.

Dwight Stulken has pleaded not guilty to numerous counts of rape

and sexual contact with a child under the age of 16.

Judge Lori Wilbur denied a defense request to lower Stulken's

$50,000 cash bond and set a pretrial motions hearing for Oct. 7. A

trial date likely will be set at that time.
