07-20-07 04 A-6458-03T2

J.M.B. was civilly committed under the Sexually Violent
Predator Act, N.J.S.A. 30:4-27.24 to -.38. He appealed his
initial commitment, alleging he was wrongfully committed because none of his convictions were sexually violent offenses as defined by N.J.S.A. 30:4-27.26. Held that subsection (b) is a catchall provision permitting the psychiatric experts and the court to consider the factual circumstances of the offenses in making the determination of whether the committee committed sexually violent offenses and was a sexual predator under the Act.
