A high-risk registered sex offender who allegedly assaulted a 10-year-old girl in a laundromat has been appointed a doctor to examine if he is restored to competency, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Ignacio Rosendo Martinez, a 46-year-old transient, allegedly assaulted a 10-year-old girl, who was at a San Mateo laundromat to exchange coins with her 12-year-old sister, by bear-hugging her with his pants down and thrusting his pelvis for about 25 seconds. He is alleged to have tried to pull her into a back room. She escaped his tight grip and ran outside where she found her sister. Both went home quickly and told their mother, who called 911, according to police.
He was previously in Napa State Hospital but doctors claim he is restored to competency certifying him back to Superior Court for trial. Martinez could spend life in prison if convicted. He returns to court Aug. 31 for receipt of the doctor’s report.
According to meganslaw.ca.gov, Ignacio Martinez is listed as a high risk sex offender.
