The federal government sought to commit Todd Carta under the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, Pub L. No. 109-248, 120 Stat. 587 (2006) ("Adam Walsh Act"). That statute authorizes civil commitment of a person already in federal custody, including one finishing a sentence after a criminal conviction, if the government shows that he is a "sexually dangerous person." 18 U.S.C. § 4248 (2006).
