Sex Offender Law Report

Abstract: 

Whatever happened to Joe Augustine? This pseudonym for a man committed to a state facility as a “sexually violent predator” some nine years ago gave rise to an episodic series describing the progress of a civil rights action seeking to vindicate his rights. Admittedly, there has never been much of a constituency for the needs of civilly committed former sex offenders. Indeed, even the most ardent followers of SLR might not recall the sometimes turgid prose describing our ongoing efforts to get a man out of a “special treatment unit.”
