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...

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...

My thanks to an anonymous commenter who dropped a little nugget of information about Thomas Wayne Evenstad, the convicted "chat line rapist" who is now running his own "consulting" enterprise to assist individuals detained under Sexual Violent Predator laws and (this is NOT written in the parody font) describes himself on Linked In as the inventor of a type of boxer shorts "perfect for men with light to moderate incontinence" as well as other medical issues. 

Evenstad first turned up in my world as a minor character dubbed "The Beltless Beta Male." He was a pleasant, overly-smiling assistant to notoriously loony attorney Jill Clark during the "True JACC" case involving leadership of the Jordan Area Community Council. One day Evenstad appeared in court without a belt and kept hitching up his pants like Gomer Pyle. Due to his bowing and scraping deference to Jill Clark plus his aforementioned beltlessness, I dubbed him the "Beltless Beta Male" and the nickname stuck, as my nicknames often do.

Here's what I wrote about Evenstad back in June of 2009. 

In retrospect, it was eerily prescient...
