Peter Frances Milosavjevic: The Case for Civil Commitments

Peter Frances Milosavjevic has a history of violent sexual assaults against women going back at least to 1983. One of his assaults on a mentally handicapped women left the victim in a coma for days. In 2000 he served only three years of a twelve year sentence and upon his release it should surprise no one that he continued his assaults on vulnerable women:

RIVERSIDE — Prosecutors say an ex-con with a history of violence toward women sexually brutalized as many as 11 mentally-impaired homeless women over a four-year span.

Peter Frances Milosavjevic is accused of inviting the women into his home on the pretext of giving them shelter and then attacked them.

But the 57- year old testified that all of the women he brought into his Rios Road duplex came by choice and engaged in sex with him consensually.

Milosavjevic faces 57 sexual assault-related charges involving 11 victims, between 2001 and 2005, according to a criminal complaint.

For more than an hour Wednesday afternoon, defense attorney Chris Jensen quizzed his client about the women the prosecution alleges he raped, sodomized and forced to stay in his home for weeks and — on a couple of occasions — months.

One of his alleged victims testified that she stayed with the defendant on two separate occasions in 2005, and that Milosavjevic routinely tied her up, raped, sodomized and sexually assaulted her with a foreign object.

According to prosecutors, the defendant cruised streets, bus stations and anywhere else he might find dispossessed, drug-addicted and developmentally disabled women to exploit.

Milosavjec shouldn’t have served less than a third of his sentence, in fact he shouldn’t have been out on the streets at all. He is a clear and present danger to society that authorities allowed to walk the streets even though they must have known that he would continue to abuse women.

Milosavjec proves that there are sex offenders that need to be committed to protect society. Milosevjec shows the need for common sense laws that take the worst of the worst and keep them from being in the position to hurt anyone else. Registries are key to this, but in the case of a man who once put a mentally ill woman in a coma a lifetime in a psyche ward would probably be in order.

  1. you see, the only problem is that it will start with only the dangerous offenders that do indeed need commitment. but then it will spread to other sex offenders and then on to other non-sex related crimes. you doubt this? look what happened to registration. civil commitment is abuse and constitutional violation just waiting to happen.
