The (Longview) Daily News reports a judge won’t decide until next month if 22-year-old Steven Moulton of Morton is mentally competent to stand trial for his alleged July attack on an\u00a0 8-year-old boy in a ballpark restroom in Castle Rock.<\/p>\n

News reporter Tony Lystra writes the evaluation from Western State Hospital has been completed.<\/p>\n

A hearing was set for Thursday, but was put over until Sept. 22 in Cowlitz County Superior Court, according to Cowlitz County Prosecutor Sue Baur.<\/p>\n

Moulton has a pending case in Lewis County from last summer when he was found inside a park bathroom stall in Morton with an 8-year-old boy.<\/p>\n

He is also accused of a June 27 incident at the Maytown rest area north of Centralia in which authorities say he groped and kissed a 9-year-old boy.<\/p>\n

Moulton has previously been found not competent due to a developmental disability.<\/p>\n
