In re N.D. CA1/2
N.D. appeals from the juvenile court’s decision to commit him to the
Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) after being presented with evidence that he committed several forcible sex offenses against Jane Doe and engaged in violent and/or aggressive behavior before and after these offenses, including at juvenile hall pending the resolution of his case, as well as evidence that the DJJ was a secure facility that would provide an extensive therapeutic program and disciplined environment for him. N.D. contends the juvenile court abused its discretion in committing him to the DJJ because there is not sufficient evidence that less restrictive placement alternatives were inappropriate or that he would probably benefit from a DJJ commitment. We disagree and affirm the court’s commitment decision.
