Gingell was convicted in 1981 for three counts of rape of an 8-year-old girl. He spent 23 years in Ohio’s prisons before being paroled in 2004. He was arrested in 2006 after police found a knife in his car, but was quickly released.
Gingell was arrested again six months ago, charged with not reporting his address as many sexual offenders are required by law to do. As a result, he was required to undergo a mental evaluation.
After reading the evaluation, Judge Melba Marsh was so scared she decided to personally look into Gingell’s past.
He was diagnosed with pseudological fastastica, a disorder that results in Gingell telling lies even if the truth is better for him. That’s a horrifying diagnosis for someone convicted of sex crimes the authorities want to keep an eye on, the judge said.
Marsh suggested Gingell and others like him were so dangerous they should be forced to wear a cowbell around their neck “so everybody knows where you are.”
