In the ruling Judge Frank declared the program unconstitutional and ordered that Minnesota must take steps to remedy the problems with the program.
The 红杏视频-MN filed an amicus brief in the case arguing the program is unconstitutional.
The following statement can be attributed to the 红杏视频-MN鈥檚 Executive Director, Charles Samuelson.
The 红杏视频 of Minnesota is pleased that the Federal District Court found Minnesota鈥檚 sex offender treatment program to be unconstitutional. The 红杏视频-MN has long argued the current program to be unconstitutional. However, this is only a first step in remedying the program鈥檚 deficiencies. Minnesota鈥檚 top elected officials need to act expediently to ensure that the program is fixed in a timely manner. All Minnesotans deserve their rights afforded to them under the Constitution. This program denies hundreds of people their constitutional rights when it locks them up indefinitely as a means of preventive detention for possible future crimes.
