In re William Y.
William Y., a ward of the court for violating Penal Code section 243.4, subdivision (a), sexual battery, was committed to what is now the Division of Juvenile Facilities (DJF) of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, formerly known as the California Youth Authority. On appeal, he contends the commitment was an abuse of the juvenile courts discretion because no evidence shows that less restrictive alternatives were inappropriate, and legislation enacted after his commitment requires us to vacate the order and remand for a new disposition hearing. Court reject the claims and affirm the order of commitment.
