Charges have been dismissed against a Dubuque man accused of possessing nude images of minors. 28 year old Dustin Shaw was charged with two counts of possession of depictions of a minor in a sex act. Officials from the Dubuque County Attorney’s Office recently filed a motion to dismiss the charges, with the option to refile them later. The state’s motion said that representatives for the defense filed a competency evaluation calling into question Shaw’s ability to contribute to his own defense, his understanding of the nature of proceedings against him and whether he knowingly possessed the material in question.  Documents filed by Shaw’s attorneys said they believed Shaw had “cognitive limitations,” and a doctor deemed him incompetent to stand trial.Â
