LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A man accused of forcing a woman into a “slave contract” has pleaded no contest to second-degree assault after a judge found him competent to stand trial.

A judge stopped an August hearing at which 36-year-old Nicholas Talbot was to enter a plea and ordered that he undergo a competency evaluation.

Authorities say Talbot forced his 32-year-old girlfriend to sign the contract Jan. 15, and subjected her to sexual acts and abuse that included forcing her to drink his urine.

Police say the woman told her pastor and another woman that she had been hurt by Talbot four days after signing the contract.

Talbot is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 3.
