United States v. Volungus, No. 12-1394 (1st Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pled guilty to an eight-count federal indictment including charges of child pornography and using an interstate facility to attempt to persuade a person under eighteen to engage in a sexual act. After Defendant was released on probation, his supervised release was revoked for violating the terms of his probation. The district court subsequently directed Defendant's civil confinement as a "sexually dangerous person" under the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that the district court did not clearly err in determining that Defendant was a sexually dangerous person subject to commitment.
