Oounty of New York ) SS.:
Kostas A. Katsavdakis,Ph.D., being duly sworn, deposesand statesthat:
1. I am a clinical and forensic psychokrgistlicensedto practice in the state of New
York. I am over the age of 21. N{y curriculum vitae is attached. I have personal
knowledge of the facts contained in this affidavit and am competent to tesufi' about
them.
2. I receivedmy Bachelor'sI)cgree in Psvchology from Bcrnard M. Baruch College in
1991 and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychologv from the California School of Professional
Psvchology- San Diego in 1996. I subsequendycompleted a PsychologvPostDoctoral Fellowship at lMetcy Hospital in San Diego and second Post-Doctoral
Fellowship at The N{enningerClinic between 9 /97 and 2/00. I was first licensedin
thc state of New York on 1/17 /03. I was formerly the Assistant l)irector of
Psychology at Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Oenter, a maximum security forensic
hospital on \7ard's Island, New York Ciq'. I have maintained a private pracrice in
ciinical and forensic psychology with an office in Manhattan since 2002. I have
taught at John JayCollege of Criminal Justice since 2004. I have participated in
leading continuing legal education workshops in the areaof sexual violence risk
assessment.
3. I am familiar with the newly enacted Sex Offendcr N{anagementand Treatrnent Act
(Chapter 7 of the Laws of New York, 2007 or SOM.IA), effective April 13, 2007.
SOMTA added a new Article 10 to the Mental Hygiene Law and amended the
Executive Law, the Correction Law, the Criminal Procedure Law, the Family Court
Act, the Judiciary Law, the Penal Law and the County Law in relation to the
treatment, supervision, and civil commitrnent of sex offenders requidng continuing
maflagement and the criminal punishment of sex offenders.

4. Alan Rosenthal,F,sq.,a Board Member of the New York StateAssociation of
Criminal Defense Lawvers,requestedthat I explain why the changesin New York
a
Law implemented by SOMTA now require criminal defensecounsel represent.i.ng
client chargedwith a sex offense to seek the sen'icesof a forensic mental health
expert in order to assessthe presenceof a mental abnormality and to conduct a
comprehensiverisk assessmentof the defendant basedupon the researchand
theoretical Frndings.
5 . According to SON{TA, as set forth in Mental Hygiene Law \10.01(e),the assessment
of a sexualoffcnder "should be bascd on the most accuratescientific understanding
available,including the use of curent, validated risk assessmentinstruments. Ideally,
effecdve risk assessmentshould begin to occur prior to sentencingin the criminal
process,and it should guide the processof civil commitmcnt."
6. In addition, the Penal Law was amended by SON{TA to add a new section, Penal
Law \70.80, that speciFrcally
addressesthe sentencingof scx offcnders. Penal Law
\70.80(2) specificallvdirects the court, in rmposing sentence,to considcr new factors
in addition to the factors to be utilized for sentcncingin gencral pursuant to Penal
Law \1.05. Some of the new factors require particular mental health expcrtise
including history of sex offenses,any mental illness (x mental abnormalitl from
which the defendant mav suffer, thc defendant'sability or inabrlity to control his
sexualbehavior and whether the defendant'sdifficulty controlling such behavior
poscsa thrcat to s<lcicN.
7 . r\ defenselawycr in a criminal caschas the responsibility to advise thc clicnt chargcd
with a scxual offense on whether a particular plea offer appearsto be desirableas
wcll as thc likelihood of a cir'il commitment pursLrantto SOI\{TA. In ordcr f<rra
defenseattorney to advisea client as to the merits of a plea offer in a sex offense
case,the attorney must, as a result of SON{TA, considcr and advise thc client about
the possibility of civil commitment.
8. In order for the defenselauryerto advise a client about the p<>ssibilitvof cir.il
commitment, the retention of a forensic mental health expert is required in order tcr
address(a) whether there is the presenceof a "mental abnormality," &) whether the
"mental abnormaiiry" leads to a stron€ipredisposition to comrnit sex offenses and
an inability to control his or her behavior and (c) the defendant's likelihood of
recommrtting a sex offenses if not committed to a secure treatment facility or under
strict and intensive supervision.
9 . A forensic mental health expert is uniquely qualified to addressthe questionsabove
becauseof their specializedtechnical and scientific knowledge for the (a) diagnosisof
a mental illness,abnormali4' or psychiatnc disorder, @) nsk factors associatedwith
sexual recidivism, (c) validated current risk assessmentiflstruments, (d) sexual reoffense rates among various tlpes of sexualoffenders, and (e) treaftnent
interventions to mitigate risk. The forensic mental health expert integrates this
information in order to pror"ide a comprehensive evaluation that helps the defense

counsel determine the feasibility of the plea offer and the Court to determine
sentencing.
1 0 .The forensic mental health expert has specialized knowledge tfuough fotmal
educadon, continuing educadon, practice and familiarity with the scientific literarure
in the diagnosis and evaluation of mental disotders as defined in the American
Psychiatric Association's Diagnostics and Statistics Manual of Mental Disorders (4'h
edition; DSM-IV; American PsychiatricAssociadon,l,994; text tevision; DSM- JV'IR;
American Psychiatric Association, 2000). The DSN{-IV-TR is almost universally
accepted and relied upon as the authodtative support for the diagnosis of mental
abnormalities and personality disorder.
1 1 .Irotensic mental health experts have knowledgc and practice in the administration,
scoring and interpretadon of assessmentmethods that help with making diagnoses
listed in the I)SM-IV-TR. Thcse experts remain familiar with the limitations of
litkirg volitional capacity to a specific diagnosis. That is, the prccarious narure, as
outlined in the DSM-IV-TR, of indicating that a particular disorder is associatedwith
an inability to control one's impulses.
12.Forensic mental health experts have specializedknowledge and experdsein
understanding and explaining how static and dynamic risk factors are associatedwith
sexualrecidivism @ecker & I\{urphy, 1998; tseech,Fisher &'I'hornton,2003;
Heilbrun, Nezu, Keeney, Chung & Wasserman,1998; Lanyon, 2001; Miller, Amenta
& Conroy, 2005). Static factors are those factors that cannot changewith time while
dynamic factots are those factors that can change with time andf or intervendon.
The static factors associatedwith sexual re-offending in the community include prior
conviction history, age,l'ictim tlpe and prior sexuallv deviant behavior while
dynamic factors include relationships, employrnent status, cuffent substance or
alcohol use and negatir,'isticor cr-iminogenic attitudes.
1 3 .Mentai health experts arc famitar with research and theoretical findings, including
meta-analytic Frndingsthat summarize which static and dynamic factors are
significandy related to sexual re-offending among the heterogeneousgloup <>fsexual
crffenders. For example,age (Doren,2006;Fazel, Sjostedt,Langstrom & Grann,
2006; Hanson,2001; Lanagan,Scmitt & Dutose, 2003; Thornton, 2006), victim
gendet (Flanson& Morton-Bourgon, 2004-02;Hanson & Bussiere,1996; Harris &
Hanson, 2004-03, Scalora & Garbin, 2003), relationship to victim (Flanson &
N{orton-Bourgon, 2004-02;Hanson & Bussiere,1996; Harris & Hanson,2004-03),
sexualdeviance (Hanson & Harris, 1998; Hanson & Harris,2000; Hanson &
Morton-Bourgon, 2004-02; Hanson & Bussiere, 1996;'Ihomton, 2002),
criminogenic attitudes (Olver, Wong, Nicholaichuk & Gordon,2007) are factors
associatedwith sexual re-offending and no one factor, by itself, is enough to esd.mate
the likelihood of re-offending in the absenceof post-releasesupervision.
14. These static and dynamic risk factots are systematically incorporated into valid and
reliable dsk assessmentmethods (e.g.,actuarial,structr.uedprofessionaljudgment).
Forensic mental health experts are familiar urith and receive taining in the

administrauon, scoring and interpretation for these instruments. Moreover, these
experts remain familrar with communicating testing findings in a manner that keeps
in mind the limitations of risk findings (Amenta, Guy & Edens, 2003; Campbell,
2003; DeMatteo & Edens,2006; Freedman, 2001; Heilbrun, Dvoskin, Hart &
McNeil, 1999;Janus & Prentky, 2003; I-evenson,2004; Prentky,Janus,Barbaree,
Schwartz & Kafka, 2006; Salekin,2007; Sjostedt & Grann, 2002).
15. Forensic mental health experts'familianty with the availabletest instruments
(Archer, Buffington-Vollum, Vauder Stedny & Hander, 2006;Lalh,2003) as well as
statisticalproperties Q)e Vogel, de Ruitter, van Beek & Mead, 2004; Hanson &
Thomton, 1999-02;Hanson & Thornton, 2000; Harris, fuce,Quinsey,Lalumiere,
Boer & Lang,2003; Sjostedt & I.angstrom, 2001) allows them to develop a
comprehensir.erisk assessment,that includes identifiiing those factors increasingrisk,

clinical inpatient setting, forensic setting or prison setting.
16. An individualizcd comprehensiverisk assessmentfor a particular defendant must rely
upon a comparison to gaoup data. Psycholog- exrstsas a sciencebecauseit providcs
a databaseregarding the behavior of groups of individuals that is systematicallvand
rcliably obtained using the scientific method. For example,we have greater
confidcnce for a study that involves 5,000 subjccts than a study that involves 500
subiects. The larger the group, the gteater the confidence in the outcome. We arc
subsequendy confidant rvhen the findings are rcplicated across studies and time.

is called a baserate or the statisticalprevalenceof a
given behavior over a speciFredperiod of time.
17. Whilc earlier risk assessmentsdid not differendate between different typcs of
offenderc (e.g.,rapists, pedophilia with male victim versus female victim), current
scientific data has shown that sexualoffenders are heterogeneousand demonstrate
different rates of sexual re-offending. For example, thc scientiFrcliterature has
consistendy demonstrated that offenders with intrafamilial or female victims have
lower rates of re-offending in the community (Hanson, 2001; Hanson & Bussidre,
1996 Hanis & Hanson,2004). N{oreover,there is less scientiFtcdala on offenders
charged with voyeurism, exhibitionism or those arrested for intemet cdmes. In the
absenceof the forensic mental health expert's comprehensiverisk assessment,the
estimation of re-offending in the community is subjective and prone to effor
inasmuch as sexualoffenders are viewed as homogeneous.
18. Finally, forensic mental health experts are familiar and remain up to date with the
crrrrent treatment intervendons in the community to mitigate risk across time
(Colwell & Boer,2000; Hanson, Gordon, Harris, Marques, Murphy, Quinsey & Seto,
2002;Marques, Wiedereanders,Day, Nelson & van Ommeren,2005; Olver, \7ong,
Nicholaichuk & Gordon.2007; Polaschek,2003; Ward & Stewart.2003). This

includes types of gtoup therapies and medication treatrnents to reduce sexual deviant
arousalpattems.
19. In closing, the forensic mental health expert has the unique position to assist the
defense counsel when considering the feasibility of a plea offer and the Court dunng
sentencing proceedings. The expert's contdbution resides in their scientific and
technical knowledge as to whether the defendant suffers ftom a "mental
abnormality" and the use of "current, validated risk assessmentinsffuments" to help
determine whether the "mental abnormality" predisposes the individual to comrnit a
sexual act. Their scientific and technical knowledge is based upon their (a) uaining
and practice in the diagnosis of a mental illness, mental abnormality ot personality
disorder, (b) identification of specific risk factors associatedwith sexual recidivism,
(c) training in the use of validated current risk assessmentinstruments, (d)
comparison of an individual defendant's risk to the appropriate sexual offcndcr
group, and (e) development of individualized treatrnentinterv-endonsto mrtigate risk.
20. As statedin SOMTA, the "risk assessmentshould begin to occur pnor to sentencing
in the cdminal process, and it should guide the process of civil commitment." If a
forensic mental health expert is not invoh'ed early in this process,the validity of the
risk assessmentand determination of thc presenceof a mental abnormaliry is likely
to fall in the hands of an untrained individual. This is likelv to result in the
distortion, misinterpretation or omission of critrtal information that a defensc
counsel rcpresentinga defendant chargedwith 4 sex offense needsin order t<r
consider not only the feasibility of the plea offei, but also the possibility of cir.il
commitment.
