DuPAGE COUNTY - A second psychologist testified Monday that Rev. Fred Lenczycki qualifies to be incarcerated under the Illinois Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act.

Lenczycki was convicted in 2004 of molesting three Hinsdale Catholic school boys and was sentenced to five years in prison. In 2006, shortly before he was due for parole, authorities invoked the law that allows prosecutors to seek continued civil commitment of sex offenders who they believe will reoffend.

Lenczycki, 63, could become the first Illinois clergy member to be considered a sexually violent person under the state law.

Echoing Friday's testimony, psychologist Ray Quackenbush told a DuPage County jury Monday that Lenczycki had a poor attitude toward treatment and has a possibility of reoffending.
