P. v. Lovato
Lawrence Lovato appeals from the judgment entered following a court trial at which he was determined to be a mentally disordered offender (MDO). (Pen. Code, 2960 et seq.)[1] According to a psychiatrist, appellant suffered from two severe mental disorders: a "delusional disorder, persecutory type," and "pedophilia, sexually attracted to females." Appellant contends that the evidence is insufficient to show that (1) he in fact suffered from pedophilia, (2) he was in treatment for pedophilia for at least 90 days within the year preceding his parole release date, (3) the delusional disorder existed at the time of the MDO offenses; and (4) the delusional disorder was an aggravating factor in the commission of those offenses. Court affirm.
