BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — A judge has ordered a series of psychiatric and competency exams for a Fairfield man accused of dancing naked in his backyard in front of two neighborhood children.
Keith Iodice, 39, was out on bond after being arrested Dec. 1, 2005, and accused of downloading child pornography while working at Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford. U.S. Magistrate Judge William I. Garfinkel will use the test results to determine if Iodice is competent to stand trial.
Iodice had a brain aneurysm when he was 18.
"He has no short-term memory," said his attorney, Frank Riccio Sr. "He does well as long as you plot the whole day out for him."
Iodice was taken into federal custody earlier this month after two boys said he was staring at them and gyrating his hips while naked in his backyard.
Iodice does not face new charges connected with the nude dancing, but he was accused of violating the terms of his release on the child-pornography charges.
Iodice was first arrested in 2005 by agents from the Defense Criminal Investigation Service after he was observed viewing child pornography on a government computer, according to prosecutors. At the time, Iodice was working for the Defense Contract Management Agency on the Black Hawk and Seahawk helicopter programs at Sikorsky.
