In 2003, court found Plaintiff to be a sexually violent person (SVP) under the Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act, based on offense committed at age 16. In 2017, court properly denied Plaintiff's complaint for habeas corpus relief, as such relief is available only for a narrow scope of errors identified in Section 10-124 of Code of Civil Procedure, and not other errors, even if denial of constitutional right is involved. (KNECHT and TURNER, concurring.)
