In addition, Shiue has talked about his reduced level of sexual interest as well as health problems such as arthritis and difficulty walking, Marston said. Older offenders were less likely to be sexually violent, Marston testified. But he said Shiue was at low risk for reoffending. Last week, psychologist Peter Marston testified on behalf of Shuie that he also diagnosed him with paraphilia and said he needed treatment. “My conclusion is he is highly likely to engage in harmful sexual acts in the future.” “Some of his answers seem rehearsed,” Powers-Sawyer said. In a second interview, though, Shiue said he changed his mind and he needed treatment. In her first interview with Shiue, he told her he did not need sex offender treatment but would go “just to show he was not a risk,” she testified. Powers-Sawyer also wondered if Shiue was truly sorry for his actions.
The body of the University of North Dakota student was found in a ravine near Crookston, Minn., in April 2004.Įarlier, court-appointed psychologist Amanda Powers-Sawyer testified she had diagnosed Shiue with an anti-personality disorder and sexual sadism, noting he videotaped the rapes of his former teacher. He cited the case of Alfonso Rodriguez Jr., a convicted sex offender who was released from prison and later kidnapped, raped and murdered 22-year-old Dru Sjodin. Reitman said that while age can decrease risks, it does not necessarily determine a person’s likelihood to reoffend. “It caused me great concern that not only has he not had sex offender treatment, but no treatment for this delusional disorder,” Reitman said.
