P. v. Gonzales
Jerome Franz Gonzalez appeals an order involuntarily committing him for an indeterminate term to the custody of the Department of Mental Health (Department) after a jury found him to be a sexually violent predator (SVP) within the meaning of the Sexually Violent Predators Act (Welf. & Inst. Code, 6600 et seq.) (the SVPA). Gonzalez contends the order should be reversed because his indeterminate commitment under the SVPA, as amended in 2006, violates his federal constitutional rights to due process of law, against ex post facto laws, and to equal protection under the law. Court affirm.
