One of Minnesotas most violent and infamous sex offenders -- who has admitted to raping more than 60 women and who has quickly re-offended every time he's been previously released from prison -- is set to go free yet again, after more than 30 years behind bars.

The Minnesota Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a request by the states Department of Human Services to review the case of Thomas Ray Duvall, a serial rapist who admitted to brutally raping dozens of teenage girls in the 1970s and 1980s.

The courts ruling comes two months after the state Court of Appeals ruled Duvall should be allowed to be released into the community after spending three decades behind bars

The ruling ends a five-year legal battle over Duvall's future. The case set off a political firestorm over Minnesotas civil commitment system, which confines sex offenders indefinitely after their prison terms ends.

I am honestly so devastated, I have no words at this moment, a family member of one of Duvalls victims after the courts ruling. We are terrified. The public needs to know how dangerous Duvall is.

Duvall, now 63, committed his first known sexual assault in 1975, when he and two other males raped a 17-year-old girl. He re-offended three years later when he picked up a 17-year-old girl at the State Fair, promised to drive her home, and instead raped her.

Within months of his release from prison for that crime, he attempted to force another woman into his car and threatened her with a knife. Over the next decade, Duvall was arrested and released multiple times for raping several other teenagers, including a 14-year-old and 15-year-old in 1982

Duvall was finally sentenced to his current term, 20 years in prison, after he was nabbed for raping a 17-year-old girl inside a Brooklyn Park apartment -- just 12 days after his release from jail in 1987. According to the Star Tribune, Duvall talked his way into the apartment a day after Christmas, bound the teenager with an electric cord and then repeatedly raped her for more than three hours while hitting her with a hammer.

In 1991, Duvall was civilly committed as a psychopathic personality and sent to the Minnesota Sex Offender Program. Duvall was diagnosed as a sexual sadist and has admitted to more than 60 victims

In June 2015, U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank ruled the states sex offender program was unconstitutional, calling it a punitive system that violates offenders rights to due process. Franks ruling was later overturned by a higher court, but signified a shift among specialists to be more willing to support offenders petitions for conditional release.

Only three sex offenders had been discharged from the program in its 20-year history. Since then, the number has risen to 26. At a trial last spring, Duvall testified he had earned his right to a provisional discharge and had learned to control his violent sexual fantasies.

At the same trial, three outside evaluators testified that Duvall should not be released from the program, arguing he remains fixated on deviant and violent sexual thoughts despite treatment. One of the evaluators, forensic psychologist Dr. James Alsdurf, described Duvall as obsessed with sex most of it violent,

Meanwhile, the programs own staff described Duvall as a model detainee who was committed to his treatment program testimony the appeals court panel heavily relied on when saying he should be released into the community -- despite acknowledging that Duvall still has a risk of reoffending, given his violent history.

Human Services Commissioner Emily Piper said in statement that she opposed Duvalls release out of a deep concern for public safety.

When you get to that quantity, it really makes no difference how violent they were or weren't. You should be dead or locked up for life either way.

Heck, you should be LONG before reaching that quantity. If it were up to me, it'd be as soon as your rape count reaches 1 (inb4 some dumb joke about "what if someone commits half a rape"), but apparently that's "inhumane".

He's white

There's black people and homeless people who stole under $100 and got harsher prison sentences than this guy for that single conviction, even if it was after several prior arrests

Thing is, stealing $100 of marked up products still isn't anywhere near as horrible as literally raping. And that's not even going into the ones like that victim he hit with a hammer.

I disagree and I think you would if you had a sister, girlfriend or daughter.

There's a huge difference between like Date-rape, not stopping when she said no or even forceful rape compared to literally tying a girl up and smashing her about with a hammer while you rape her.

They're all sick obviously but there's a scale here.

Just like the funkytown Mexican murderers are worse in scale to a guy drunkenly hitting someone with a chair in a bar.

This is the result of Minnesota saying the sex offender program is unconstitutional iirc. Found this looks like he isn't the only rapist being released there are 25 others.

http://www.startribune.com/serial-rapist-cleared-for-release-from-minn-sex-offender-program/493729601/

The ruling also signals a shift in the way judges and the state are handling sex offender cases. In June 2015, U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank ruled that Minnesotas sex offender program was unconstitutional, calling it a punitive system that violates offenders rights to due process. Although Franks ruling was later overturned by a higher court, specialists at the MSOP have been more willing to support offenders petitions and state judges have been less likely to override them.

At the time of Franks ruling, only three offenders had been discharged from the MSOP in its 20-year history a number cited by attorneys and civil rights advocates as evidence that civil commitment was a de facto life sentence. Now the number who have been granted provisional discharge (or approved for release with certain conditions) has reached 26. Another three offenders have been released without any conditions, which is unprecedented.

I mean, yes, they're worse.

But when you hit that many rapes, there isn't exactly any punishment you could give out - not even if you disregard any notion of human rights - that would be fine for one but excessive for the other. They've gone way beyond the limit at which being proportionate is practical; they've both long since hit the point where there's nothing you can do but say "give him the most severe punishment we legally and physically can".

60 maybe old but it certainly isn't decrepit and he is likely quite fit from his time in prison given exercise is one if the main activities for prisoners to stay occupied. My grandfather was fit as hell at 80 and could easily overpower young girls

Theres not a single person. I would bet my paycheck. Even being black (Read: having a public defender because you cant afford a good lawyer) doesnt get you 30 years for a petty shoplifting crime.

Youd have to have a double digit IQ to actually hear such a claim and think its even remotely true. Not to say theres arent people with sub 80 IQs who frequent this forum and do believe such things.

Oh, I know.

He'll eventually find an example where "theft under $100" was one of dozens of charges and claim that's his counterexample or something, too.
