Man accused of raping 95-year-old woman claims insanity

The man accused of raping and beating a 95-year-old Wilmington woman is claiming insanity.

41-year-old Brian Reavis will be examined at Dorothea Dix Mental Hospital, which is expected to delay his trial by months.

Reavis is accused of brutally attacking the 95-year-old woman in April. District Attorney, Ben David, said the victim’s testimony has been videotaped to use in case she cannot testify at next year’s trial.
