New York seeks indefinite confinement for sex offender post sentence
A New York judge allowed prosecutors to pursue civil confinement for Nashawn Williams, a 33 year old sex offender who infected at least 13 women with AIDS. The trial on the confinement issue is set for October. The defense argued the civil confinement law applied retroactively and that Williams had finished his prison terms. The state argues sentences merge in prison and Williams remains subject to confinement after release if deemed mentally abnormal and likely to reoffend.
