Sexually Dangerous Persons

As reported in the January 18, 2010 Rhode Island Lawyers Weekly, the First Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has held that provisions of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act which "provides for the civil commitment of a sexually dangerous person already in federal criminal custody in lieu of that person's release upon service of his full sentence, we hold that this civil commitment provision 'comes within the legitimate scope of congressional power conferred by the Necessary and Proper Clause of the federal Constitution.'"  Furthermore, "the exercise of a federal commitment power embodied in [18 U.S.C.] ยง4248 operates to prevent the release into society at large of sexually dangerous persons as to whom the federal government has custodial responsibility."

 

If you or a family member has been accused of a sex crime it can be one of the most embarrassing and traumatic events in a person's life.  Please allow Attorney Robert H. Humphrey's reputation, experience and skill to successfully guide you through the legal process when you have been charged with a sex offense in Rhode Island.  Contact Attorney Robert H. Humphrey at (401) 816-5862 or E-mail him at rhh@rhumphreylaw.com for a free consultation.
