Wakefield is classified as a sexually violent predator, a designation for those convicted of sexually violent offenses and diagnosed with a mental disorder that makes a person likely to re-offend. Liberty Healthcare, which operates the state's conditional release program for sexually violent predators, has said no SVPs have re- offended in the 21-year history of the program.
