One week ago, I had word that Tom Evenstad, the "chatline rapist" now charged with new and shocking crimes, was NOT being held in Regions Hospital. At least one informed source I spoke to was under the impression Evenstad was no longer committed and would be returning to the Ramsey County Jail.

The information Evenstad was no longer at Regions was good. But it turns out that fact did NOT actually end the mental commitment. 

The latest word I'm hearing right now from a different source is...

Despite a mental commitment proceeding that could have put Thomas Evenstad under the observation of health care professionals for as long as six months, click here for previous article, today JNS blog learned from a reliable source of information that Evenstad has been released from the secure facility at Regions Hospital and he's back in jail. 

I don't have any further information than THAT, but from this info it might be inferred, reasonably, that...

ADDENDUM, APRIL 21: The commitment in question didn't last a week, let alone six months, see story published today, April 21. 

JNS blog doesn't like to merely re-report a story in the mainstream media, even though I had the story about mental commitment hearings for "chatline rapist" Thomas Evenstad all to myself for a couple days. But now at least one mainstream media entity has jumped back into the fray and reported the sudden development of Thomas Evenstad being mentally committed for six months, click here for an excellent and detailed article in the Pioneer Press.

In the meantime, thanks to an anonymous commenter (thank you!) JNS blog has a new and relevant piece of information to add to the story by the Pioneer Press: 

Evenstad has a current social media dating profile, a fact that should give the willies to any woman who uses dating websites for the purpose of finding dates...

Mainstream media found Thomas Evenstad interesting right after his arrest for terrorizing, allegedly, the wives of two high-ranking public officials. Evenstad then faced further charges of criminal defamation against a police officer. JNS blog has heard PLENTY about that investigation but all I will share publicly at this point about THAT is the investigation is...

Mainstream media were going crazy a couple weeks ago to report on the arrest of Thomas Evenstad, a convicted rapist who found his victims on chatlines and did a lot of hard time for that. Now running around loose in the world, Tom has been telling the whole world he's not a psycho rapist. One way he's been trying to prove his point is to trash his victims online and also to show up, terrifyingly, at the homes of two public officials when only their wives were home. 

That last bit of lunacy caused Tom to be arrested and charged with terroristic threats and then (while he was sitting in jail) Tom was charged with criminal defamation of a police officer, who Tom falsely labeled a "rapist." 

Did mainstream media follow up on the story? 

No. 

JNS blog has now learned there is an attempt underway to have Thomas Evenstad mentally committed...

JNS blog was interested in "Chatline Rapist" Tom Evenstad years before the mainstream media became interested in him...or shall I say "re-interested" in Evenstad, because obviously there was media interest around the time of Evenstad's rape conviction, but nobody except this blog followed Evenstad's release and subsequent reappearance as a paralegal for attorney Jill Clark prior to her dramatic suspension from the practice of law.

Now the mainstream media have reported the recent shocking allegations of terroristic threats against the wives of public officials but these media seem to have rather quickly moved on to other stories.

Their coverage is a mile wide but an inch deep. Well, JNS blog wants to get to the bottom of what happened, here...

Some Interesting Back Story On Good Ol' Thomas Wayne Evenstad, The Chat Line Rapist...

post by John Hoff

Somebody (I won't say who, exactly) has been kicking juicy info my way about Thomas Wayne Evenstad, the convicted "chat line rapist" who now roams our streets, free as a bird. Notorious legal loon Jill Eleanor Clark was his attorney and helped to free him before she lost her mind, her law license, and the appeal in Moore v. Hoff; the Blogosphere Trial of the Century. Later, during the "True JACC" civil case, Evenstad worked for Clark as a paralegal.

Anyway, I was told that Evenstad's recent habit of clogging the courts with pointless legal actions is not a new development; but rather his habit of being grit in the gears of the judicial system goes back quite a ways. As evidence of that, check out...

Tom Evenstad, who can be fairly and accurately described as "convicted of being the Chat Line Rapist, yet never wavering in his assertions of innocence," recently sent me a series of emails.

I've already written about the "basis of our sick relationship" (click here) and how (incredible as it may sound) I periodically exchange emails with Tom Evenstad.

Yes, the very same Tom Evenstad who has published threats on his blog to sue me, who called up my lawyer Paul Godfread and hinted he would sue me, who once worked for Jill Clark as a beltless paralegal beta male, and who appears to spend a great deal of his life going to little committees about the topic of sex offenders, regarding which he knows a great deal.

Yes, THAT Tom Evenstad...
