Jury Finds Janesville Man Sexually Violent
Post Source: The Janesville Gazette
Why did it take 15 years, and three molestations (that are known about) of 12, 14 and 15 year-old girls to get this guy officially deemed a violent sex offender?
JANESVILLE — A Rock County jury found a Janesville man with a history of sexually assaulting teenage girls to be a sexually violent person under Wisconsin’s civil commitment law. ....
Budd was first convicted of a sex offense in 1993 in Rock County for having intercourse with a 14-year-old girl when he was 22. The victim became pregnant and later gave birth to a baby girl, according to the attorney general’s press release.
On parole and caring for a disabled friend in 1998, Budd engaged in sexual activity lasting a year, including intercourse, with his friend’s 12-year-old daughter. Upon conviction, Budd’s prison sentence was withheld, and he was placed on three years probation, according to the release.
Budd committed another sexual assault in January 2001 when he had sexual contact with a 15-year-old female to whom he was introduced by his 1998 victim. On Dec. 4, 2003, Budd was sentenced to serve two years in prison and three years extended supervision.
Budd was scheduled to be discharged from the state Department of Corrections’ custody in January 2006, but the corrections department recommended that the state Justice Department review Budd’s case.
The justice department filed a petition Jan. 23, 2006, to commit Budd as a sexually violent person.

Supposedly he will not get out until he is "deemed to no longer be sexually violent." That should be never, but I have a hunch that in a year or so, some bleeding heart Judge will deem him well and turn him loose on society again.
