		<description><![CDATA[Indefinite Detention: Preemptive Punishment for Future Sex Crimes

By: Houston Criminal Attorney John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair

On May 17, 2010 the United States Supreme Court in United States v. Comstock upheld a federal statute that gives Government the power to civilly commit indefinitely a “sexually dangerous person” after he has completed serving his criminal sentence. The statute, 18U.S.C. Sec. 4248, was the subject of one of our blogs earlier this year. §4248 has three basic components. First, it allows a federal district court to civilly commit an offender currently in the “custody of the [Federal] Bureau of Prisons” if that offender (1) has previously “engaged or attempted to engage in sexually violent conduct or child molestation,” (2) currently “suffers from a serious mental illness, abnormality, or disorder,” and (3) “as a result of” those conditions is “sexually dangerous to others” in that “he would have serious difficulty in refraining from sexual violent conduct or child molestation if released.”]]></description>
