Former Congressman Joe McDade of PA's 10th District was found incompetent to stand trial in Florida on accusations of exposing himself near a public pool last year.
After a mental evaluation, doctors found that the medication McDade was on for his Parkinson's disease made him unable to remember the incident. Furthermore, the medication McDade was taking has known side effects of causing inappropriate sexual behavior.
McDade, who held the seat for over thirty years, will be reevaluated for trial at the end of November to see if any circumstances have changed.
