Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act
After jury trial, Respondent was found to be a sexually violent person (SVP), under SVP Commitment Act, and committed to custody of DHS. Court properly admitted testimony as to diagnosis of parphilia not otherwise specified (PNOS), nonconsenting females, without a Frye hearing, given ample evidence that PNOS nonconsent is generally accepted within psychological community, supported by judicial landscape in other states and in Seventh Circuit. (HARRIS and SIMON, concurring.)
