LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A competency evaluation has been ordered for a Lincoln man accused of forcing his girlfriend into a “slave contract.”
Judge Stephanie Stacy stopped a hearing on Monday at which 36-year-old Nicholas Talbot was expected to enter a plea in a deal with prosecutors. Talbot is charged with domestic assault. Court documents say Talbot forced his 32-year-old girlfriend to sign the contract, subjecting her to sexual acts and abuses that included making her drink his urine.
The woman told investigators that she signed the document on Jan. 15 and four days later told her pastor and another woman that Talbot hurt her.
Talbot told the judge that he had hallucinated Monday morning and that he is bipolar and suffers from severe depression.
