P. v. Lee
The Los Angeles County District Attorney filed a petition seeking to have Lee committed as an SVP. The petition alleged that Lee had received determinate sentences for sexually violent offenses within the meaning of section 6600, subdivisions (b) and (e), namely, convictions in 1988 on three counts of lewd and lascivious acts upon children, in violation of Penal Code section 288, subdivision (a). The petition further alleged that the State Department of Mental Health (Department) had designated two practicing psychiatrists or psychologists (or one of each) who had evaluated Lee and determined that he has a diagnosed mental disorder that makes it likely he will engage in acts of sexual violence without appropriate treatment and custody. The petition alleged that Lee poses a danger to the health and safety of others and is predatory within the meaning of section 6600, subdivisions (c) through (e).
