In 1991 appellant Frank Tabudlo was sentenced to state prison, following his convictions of violating Penal Code sections 288, subdivision (b)(1) (lewd or lascivious act against a child under the age of 14 by means of, inter alia, force or violence) and 288, subdivision (a) (lewd or lascivious act against a child under the age of 14). He was subsequently found to be a sexually violent predator (SVP) under the Sexually Violent Predators Act (SVPA) (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 6600, et seq.)[1] and committed to the State Department of Mental Health, in the custody of Atascadero State Hospital (ASH). In May 2005, following a court trial, the court again found appellant to be an SVP and recommitted him to the State Department of Mental Health, in the custody of ASH. The instant appeal followed.
On appeal, appellant contends the evidence was insufficient to support the finding that he was an SVP. We will affirm.
