Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act
(Court opinion corrected 6/20/13.) Respondent in a Sexually Violent Person (SVP) proceeding who does not suffer from an actual mental disorder should not be involuntarily committed. Respondent's diagnosis of a novel condition,a diagnosis addendum to his paraphilia diagnosis, of "sexually attracted to early pubesent males", was not shown by State to be generally accepted as a mental disorder. Thus, court should have conducted a Frye hearing. (NEVILLE and PIERCE, concurring.)
