Felicia Banks Beemer competency hearing set for September

WARREN — A hearing will be at 9 a.m. Sept. 14 to determine whether Felicia Banks Beemer, 21, is competent to stand trial on charges that she raped her own 9-month-old daughter and committed other sex offenses.

The hearing will be before Judge W. Wyatt McKay of Trumbull County Common Pleas Court.

The alleged rape of her daughter, which police say is captured on cellphone video, touched off an investigation of the Trumbull County Children Services agency because the acts allegedly took place at the agency’s offices on Reeves Road during a visitation.

Three experts have given their opinions of Banks Beemer’s competency to stand trial, but the opinions differ.
