ORLANDO, Fla. — A man accused of attempted sexual battery on a College Park jogger remains in jail, even after a judge granted him bail.

On Tuesday morning, a judge set bail at $30,000 for Tyler Feight.

Feight’s attorney told Judge Cherish Adams he’s not competent to proceed, as Feight tried disrupting court. Adams told him, “Anything you say here can be used against you that’s why your lawyer is telling you not to speak.”

Feight, 26, is accused of assaulting a woman last Thursday morning on Northumberland Avenue.

Investigators said the victim fought back and Feight ran away.

Police arrested him later that day after getting a tip from neighbor.

Feight is charged with attempted sexual battery and battery.

The judge told Feight that he is not to have any contact with the victim and is not to go back to the College Park neighborhood where the alleged attack happened. It’s the same neighborhood where he has lived with relatives.

The defense attorney told the judge, “He has been in the Orlando area for 10 years. He does have ties to the community.”

One neighbor, Lily Yan, said Feight followed her around last year, but ser never reported it because she thought he was ill and felt sorry for him. She said he never tried to touch her, though.
