Man arrested on lewdness charges at Lagoon last week had previously been released on sex abuse charges with a child because he was mentally incompetent to stand trial.
Last Friday, Padrick Leitz, 22, was reportedly showing his penis to people while standing outside a woman's bathroom in the park. Witnesses were able to point out Leitz to a Farmington police officer, who then took him into custody.FOX 13 Investigates reported last year that Leitz had charges dating back to 2019 dropped because of his lack of capacity to stand trial. The original crimes involved a female victim who was just three years old.
After first being released, Leitz was then arrested on April 8, 2021 for similar crimes against the same victim when she was five years old. According to a witness, Leitz was allegedly"acting inappropriately with the girl in the back seat of a car, in broad daylight," which took place next to a South Ogden elementary school.In the FOX 13 Investigates report, Weber County Attorney Chris Allred admitted that allowing Leitz out into society in 2019 was a mistake.
Leitz’s attorneys had asked for a second mental competency exam in the 2021 case, but those results are not yet available.
