In re Dave H.
In July 2000, minor Dave H., then age 15, admitted committing a lewd and lascivious act with his eight-year-old niece, T. (Pen. Code, 288, subd. (a).) He was committed to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Facilities (DJF; formerly the California Youth Authority), until his 21st birthday (February 2, 2006).
In October 2005, a petition for extended commitment was filed alleging that, due to a mental deficiency, disorder or abnormality that causes serious difficulty controlling dangerous behavior, the minor would be dangerous to the public if discharged from DJF. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 1800 et seq., Extended Detention Act (EDA); undesignated statutory references are to the Welfare and Institutions Code.) The judgment is affirmed.
