Ken Rosenfeld Ensures Dismissal of Sexually Violent Predator Petition Against Client
If determined by the State of California to be a Sexually Violent Predator, Mr. Wohlenberg potentially faced confinement for life within a state hospital facility. Following the intervention of California criminal and mental health attorney Ken Rosenfeld of The Rosenfeld Law Firm, the petition against Mr. Wohlenberg was dismissed.
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Rosenfeld Law Firm announced today that a petition filed to civilly commit a client as a Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) has been dismissed by the Superior Court of Sacramento (Case # 98673) as a result of the efforts of California criminal and mental health attorney Ken Rosenfeld.
Under California's Sexually Violent Predator Act, Welfare and Institutions Code section 6601 et seq., Mr. Wohlenberg was petitioned to be civilly committed as a SVP. According to WIC § 6604, a person designated as an SVP is to be placed for an indeterminate amount of time in custody of the State Department of State Hospitals and receive sex offender treatment within the confinement of a secure facility.
Rosenfeld said his client was relieved to be able to avoid the SVP designation and reintegrate into the community.
"Thanks to our firm's efforts, Mr. Wohlenberg is a free man," said Rosenfeld. "He's looking forward to beginning the next part of his life."
