Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Guilty Pleas
Defendant pled guilty to one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Failure to inform Defendant that his guilty plea could be basis for petition to have him declared a sexually violent person does not render his plea involuntary. Civil commitment as a sexually violent person is outside the scope of U.S. v. Padilla case, which held that defense counsel's failure to advise a defendant of potential deportation consequences of a guilty plea renders plea involuntary. State having nol-prossed the count to which Defendant pled guilty does not render his plea void. As parties participated in proceedings inconsistent with the merits of the prior disposition of nol-prossed count, and presented an agreed disposition, the court had acquired jurisdiction through revestment doctrine. (McLAREN and BIRKETT, concurring.)
