                         UNPUBLISHED OPINION

HUDSON, Judge

         In this appeal from his civil commitment as a sexually dangerous person (SDP),

appellant argues that the district court clearly erred by discrediting one expert’s actuarial

assessment, the SRA-FV, as a new measure, not yet widely used in Minnesota, and

crediting the opinion of another expert, who relied partially on structured clinical

judgment. He also argues that the district court’s findings reflect factor repetition, which

is impermissible under In re Civil Commitment of Ince, 

 (Minn. 2014). He
further challenges the district court’s determination that he failed to show the availability

of a less-restrictive alternative meeting his needs and public-safety requirements. We

affirm.

                                           FACTS

          In April 2012, a petition was filed to commit appellant Matthew Alan Radke as an

SDP.       See Minn. Stat. § 253D.02, subd. 16 (Supp. 2013) (defining standards for

commitment as a sexually dangerous person).1 In 2008, appellant was convicted of

second-degree criminal sexual conduct based on repeated sexual contact with his

girlfriend’s daughter when she was four to ten years old. In 2007, he pleaded guilty to

fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct after grabbing a woman at a facility where he was

undergoing chemical-dependency treatment. As a result of the second-degree criminal

sexual conduct conviction, appellant was sentenced to 21 months in prison, with

execution stayed and probation for 0-20 years.

          In 2008, appellant entered outpatient sex-offender treatment at the Safety Center,

Inc. After reports in 2009 and 2010 that he violated probation conditions by viewing and

masturbating to adult and child pornography, his probation was restricted and treatment

modified. In 2012, he was convicted of interference with privacy after he engaged in

window peeping, masturbated when he returned home, and then reported his behavior.

Appellant was suspended from treatment at the Safety Center, his probation was revoked,

  In 2013, the Minnesota legislature recodified the statutes governing civil commitment
of sexually dangerous persons. See 2013 Minn. Laws, ch. 49 at 213–14 (codified at
Minn. Stat. ch. 253D). We cite the current versions of the statutes because, for purposes
of this case, the legislature clarified pre-existing law without making substantive changes.
See Braylock v. Jesson, 

, 588–89 (Minn. 2012).

                                              2
and he was sent to prison. In 1996, he was diagnosed with major depression, borderline

passive-aggressive personality traits, intense and unstable personal relationships, and a

global assessment of impairment in social functioning.

       At a hearing on the commitment petition, appellant’s probation agent in the

Minnesota Department of Corrections outpatient enhanced sex-offender program testified

that appellant lacks impulse control and admitted to sexual fantasies about young

children, raising concerns about a future sexual offense. The agent testified that he was

also concerned because appellant had stated that he engaged in window peeping “because

he deserved it” after treatment success.

       Appellant’s psychologist at the Safety Center testified that appellant showed

positive effects from his three-hour-per-weekday treatment and that he would be

considered for readmission because his last offense occurred during the relapse-

prevention phase.    The psychologist testified, however, that he was concerned by

appellant’s window peeping near the end of treatment and his inability to use treatment

techniques to stop this behavior.

       Appellant testified that he had learned from his treatment at the Safety Center and

was able to control his impulses “to a certain point.” He testified that he did not believe

his attraction to children would go away, but he could control himself if he stopped and

considered the consequences of an action. He testified that, since he was a teenager, he

would attempt to engage in window peeping three to four times every five or six months

on a regular basis; that, over a six-year period, he touched his girlfriend’s daughter

sexually “close to 200 times”; and that his attraction to young females had “stayed pretty


                                            3
much the same” since he was 10 or 11 years old. He stated that he still had sexual

problems, but he did not “act on them as much as [he] used to.”

       The two court-appointed psychologists, Dr. Linda Marshall and Dr. Mary

Kenning, submitted reports and testimony. Dr. Marshall gave her opinion that appellant

met the threshold for commitment as SDP; Dr. Kenning gave her opinion that he did not

meet that threshold.

       Dr. Marshall administered the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2,

which showed that appellant had clinical elevations in Axis I disorders relating to

antisocial behavior, paranoia, and confused thinking. His scores on the Millon Clinical

Multiaxial Inventory-III indicated that he had pervasive and enduring personality traits

underlining his interpersonal difficulties. Dr. Marshall diagnosed appellant with Axis I

disorders of pedophilia, voyeurism, a rule-out diagnosis of paraphilia, not otherwise

specified, and histories of bipolar disorder, alcohol dependency, and cannabis abuse. She

also diagnosed him with Axis II, borderline personality disorder, which she believed

affected his judgment, his relationship difficulties, and the chaos in his life.

       The results of the Minnesota Sex Offender Screening Tool-3.1 (MnSOST-3.1),

given during appellant’s end-of-confinement review, showed that he had a predicted

probability of sexual recidivism of 4.36 percent, with a percentile rank of 79.40, placing

appellant in the group of sex offenders with a moderate risk of committing another sex

offense within four years. Appellant scored a seven on the Static-99R, an actuarial

instrument that measures recidivism with static factors. Dr. Marshall testified that this

score placed him in the group of sex offenders at high risk for being charged or convicted


                                               4
of another sex offense. She also administered the Sexual Violence Risk-20 (SVR-20), an

instrument that uses structured clinical judgment by assessing an organized list of risk

factors found to correlate with a risk of sexual offenses. On the SVR-20, appellant

scored 13 of 20 risk markers, placing him in the moderate-to-high-risk range for risk of

sexual violence.

       Dr. Marshall testified that, in evaluating appellant, she looked at “the big picture,”

including his test scores and interview. She testified that it was a “red flag” that he had

engaged in window peeping after three years in treatment and that he should have been

able to identify triggers and stop any sexually deviant behavior before it occurred. She

indicated that appellant’s difficulties in outpatient treatment validated her opinion that

more secure treatment would be appropriate and that she was concerned for public safety,

based on his lack of success in treatment and psychological instability.

       Dr. Marshall opined that the Linehan factors supported appellant’s commitment as

an SDP.2 She stated that his age of 37 did not significantly lower his risk to reoffend, that

, 

 (1997), aff'd on remand, 

 (Minn. 1999). These factors are:

                     (a)     the     person’s      relevant      demographic
                     characteristics (e.g., age, education, etc.); (b) the
                     person’s history of violent behavior (paying particular
                     attention to recency, severity, and frequency of violent
                     acts); (c) the base rate statistics for violent behavior
                     among individuals of this person’s background (e.g.,
                     data showing the rate at which rapists recidivate, the
                     correlation between age and criminal sexual activity,

                                             5
his last offense was in 2011, and that he had a history of early dysfunction and problems.

She noted his criminal sexual conduct convictions, including the offense involving a

child over a six-year period. She reported that base-rate statistics suggest a high risk of

appellant reoffending: that, under the MnSOST-3.1, which looks at both static and

dynamic factors, he scored as a moderate risk to reoffend and that on the Static-99R, he

scored as a high risk of reconviction. She indicated that his designation as a Level 3 sex

offender and possible problems finding employment would create additional stress, and

he would be returning to the area in which his offenses took place and living with his

mother, which had not previously stopped him from offending. She pointed out that

appellant has not completed treatment and engaged in voyeurism during treatment, and

that she would not recommend additional outpatient treatment because he needs more

structured treatment in an inpatient program.

       Dr. Mary Kenning, the second court-appointed examiner, testified that appellant

has had issues with deceitfulness, failure to conform to social norms, impulsivity, and

reckless disregard for the safety of others; that ongoing characteristics of his personality

disorder made treatment progress slow; and that his personality style required particular

intervention. She opined that his disorders have affected his engaging in inappropriate

                     etc.); (d) the sources of stress in the environment
                     (cognitive and affective factors which indicate that the
                     person may be predisposed to cope with stress in a
                     violent or nonviolent manner); (e) the similarity of the
                     present or future context to those contexts in which the
                     person has used violence in the past; and (f) the
                     person’s record with respect to sex therapy programs.

In re Linehan,

                                             6
sexual activity, but that she “[did not] think he quite gets to highly likely” to engage in

future harmful sexual conduct.

       Dr. Kenning agreed with Dr. Marshall’s assessment of appellant’s risk of

recidivism based on his scores on the MnSOST-3.1, the Static-99R, and the Hare

Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (HARE-PCL-R), on which he scored in the moderate

range. But Dr. Kenning also administered the Structured Risk Assessment-Forensic

Version (SRA-FV), a dynamic risk-assessment measure that examines factors of an

offender’s sexual interest, relational style, and self-management. She testified that the

SRA-FV “is more recent research that helps us understand additional factors that aren’t

part of the person’s history” and “have to do with here and now.” Dr. Kenning reported

that appellant’s score on the SRA-FV was associated with a moderate level of

psychological or dynamic needs, which best matches with the norm group of people

preselected for treatment need, and that this score would tend to moderate his score on

the Static-99R. She opined that, within the group of persons who scored a seven on the

Static-99R, appellant has a lower level of individual need and risk, suggesting a rate of

recidivism of 25.4 percent within five years, 33 percent within ten years, and 50.8 percent

over a lifetime.

       Dr. Kenning also saw appellant’s voyeurism as separate from his pedophilia. She

testified that appellant had a better prognosis than a person solely attracted to children,

and she did not believe his voyeurism was similar to that of offenders preparing for home

invasion or stranger assault. She testified that appellant was amenable to treatment and

she would endorse additional outpatient treatment. She believed that any concerns about


                                            7
his ability to complete treatment within his five-year conditional-release period could be

addressed. She testified that appellant’s behavior was annoying, inappropriate, and to

some extent invasive, but that he did not present a public safety risk unmanageable by

intensive supervised release, ongoing treatment, and interventions such as medication.

       Dr. Kenning also reported on the application of the Linehan factors. She opined

that appellant’s gender and socioeconomic status increased his risk of reoffense and noted

his contact victims. She stated that “[i]nformation from current risk assessment measures

indicates that [appellant’s] risk of recidivism is somewhat higher than the base rates for

the average offender.” She reported appellant’s past stress arising from the murder of his

son, alcohol abuse, and sex-offender treatment. She noted that, although return to the

community would be stressful, he would likely live with his mother and not seek

employment. And she believed that appellant’s progress in sex-offender treatment was

appropriate, if slow.

       Dr. Kenning also testified, however, that “we have newer and better data . . . now

than Linehan reflects”; that demographic factors are subsumed in actuarial measures,

such as the SRA-FV; and that some Linehan factors are now examined as part of an

individual dynamic risk factor assessment. She testified that in the last few years, risk

assessment has been discussed at the national level, and that some people had chosen not

to use the SRA-FV because of a belief that it was not well-normed for use in commitment

proceedings. She testified that she had received initial training on use of the SRA-FV

during the last year and that she has probably used it only in about ten cases, but that




                                            8
California legally mandates its use in all sex-offender assessments. She testified that the

SVR-20 “did a good job of predicting risk,” but that it was “not very common anymore.”

       The district court held an additional hearing on the issue of the psychologists’

testing methods. At that hearing, the state’s attorney told the district court that, he could

“to a certain extent, stipulate” an answer to the district court’s first question: whether the

SRA-FV, used in conjunction with the Static-99R, is a valid testing technique. He stated

that “[i]t certainly is appropriate that they can be used together. That’s not the issue from

the state’s point of view.” The following colloquy occurred:

       THE COURT: So what you’re telling me is that, in essence, you’re
       stipulating that the SRA-FV, used in conjunction with the Static-99R, is a
       valid testing technique. Is -- Did I miss --

       STATE’S ATTORNEY: Well, or it’s a valid combination of the two to
       consider issues. That’s how I would state it, but yes.

       THE COURT: Mr. Magnus, anything on that?

       APPELLANT’S ATTORNEY: No, your honor. I think that that is an
       accurate statement; that it’s a -- commonly accepted tool for assessment of
       risk in these matters.

                                            ....

       THE COURT: Maybe that’s a better terminology. It’s an acceptable tool.

       STATE’S ATTORNEY:            Certainly.

       Dr. Marshall testified that it was acceptable practice to use the SRA-FV in

conjunction with the Static-99R and she also had received training in its administration,

but she would categorize the SRA-FV as “relatively new” and “not widely used” and she

had come across only one person who was currently using it in court examinations. She



                                              9
stated that she used the SVR-20 because she was familiar with it, and it examined both

static and dynamic factors.

       Dr. Marshall testified that, since she began performing court examinations in

about 1995, more actuarial instruments have become available, including the MnSOST-

3.1 and the Static-99R. She acknowledged that some portions of the SRA-FV relate to an

inability to complete treatment and can predict a risk of recidivism. But she testified that

she “would never make a recommendation for commitment based on an actuarial score.

You really, really have to look at the complete picture . . . [t]he psychological testing was

also very imperative . . . in my decision and it was important for me to look at how he

was functioning psychologically.”      She testified that appellant’s mental illness and

personality disorder, as shown in her psychological testing, interfered with his ability to

control his sexual urges.     She stated that beyond actuarial determinations, she saw

significant factors: appellant had not successfully completed treatment; had offended

while he was in treatment; and had a history of psychological problems and alcohol use.

Appellant’s attorney declined to call Dr. Kenning for additional testimony.

       The district court concluded that appellant met the standards for civil commitment

as an SDP. The district court found that clear and convincing evidence existed that, as a

result of his past course of harmful sexual conduct and his mental disorders, it was highly

likely that he would engage in further harmful sexual conduct. The district court found

that Dr. Kenning “noted that the SRA-FV is a new assessment measure, not yet widely

used in Minnesota,” and determined that Dr. Marshall’s opinion on the likelihood of

reoffense was credible and Dr. Kenning’s opinion was not credible. The district court


                                             10
found that appellant failed to present a less-restrictive program than the Minnesota Sex

Offender Treatment Program (MSOP) to meet his needs and public-safety requirements

and committed him to that program. Appellant filed this appeal, which was stayed

pending the release of In re Civil Commitment of Ince, 

 (Minn. 2014).

Following Ince, this court dissolved the stay and reinstated the appeal.

                                      DECISION

       This court reviews de novo whether clear and convincing evidence in the record

supports the district court’s conclusion that appellant meets the standards for commitment

as an SDP. In re Civil Commitment of Crosby, 

 (Minn. App. 2013),

review denied (Minn. Mar. 27, 2013). But we review a district court’s factual findings

for clear error. In re Civil Commitment of Stone, 

 (Minn. App.

2006), review denied (Minn. June 20, 2006). We view the record in the light most

favorable to the district court’s decision, recognizing that the district court is in the best

position to assess and weigh the credibility of the witnesses. See In re Civil Commitment

of Navratil, 

 (Minn. App. 2011), review denied (Minn. Aug. 24,

2011). “Where the findings of fact rest almost entirely on expert testimony, the [district]

court’s evaluation of credibility is of particular significance.” In re Knops, 

 (Minn. 1995).

       Commitment as an SDP requires that a person “(1) has engaged in a course of

harmful sexual conduct . . . ; (2) has manifested a sexual, personality, or other mental

disorder or dysfunction; and (3) as a result, is likely to engage in acts of harmful sexual

conduct.”    Minn. Stat. § 253D.02, subd. 16.         The Minnesota Supreme Court has


                                             11
interpreted this standard to mean that the state must establish that the person is “highly

likely [to] engage in harmful sexual acts in the future.” In re Linehan, 

 (Minn. 1999) (Linehan IV). Information relevant to this issue includes evidence on

the six Linehan factors. See Linehan I, 

 (stating Linehan factors). No

single factor is determinative, and whether someone is highly likely to reoffend is a

complex inquiry. See Linehan III, 

 (stating that “[s]tatistical evidence

of recidivism is only one of the six factors” and “dangerousness prediction methodology

is complex and contested”).

         A psychologist’s specialized knowledge assists the trier of fact in assessing a

person’s psychological state, which is relevant to the criteria used to determine whether

the person meets the legal standards for commitment as an SDP. In re Civil Commitment

of Jackson, 

 (Minn. App. 2003), review denied (Minn. May 20,

2003).     Appellant challenges the district court’s finding that clear and convincing

evidence exists that he is highly likely to engage in acts of harmful sexual conduct, based

on the psychologists’ expert testimony. He first argues that the district court clearly erred

by finding that Dr. Kenning testified that the SRA-FV is a new assessment measure,

which is not yet widely used in Minnesota. He points out that Dr. Kenning testified that

the SRA-FV was not a new assessment, that Dr. Marshall testified that it was acceptable

to use both the SRA-FV and the Static-99R, and that both experts indicated that the SRA-

FV moderates the Static-99R in an attempt to make scoring more accurate. He also

maintains that the district court’s finding contradicts the parties’ stipulation that the SRA-




                                             12
FV, used in conjunction with the Static-99R, was a “commonly accepted tool for risk

assessment.”

       We disagree with appellant’s arguments. The district court properly conducted a

second hearing to fully examine the psychologists’ testing methods. See In re Detention

of Ritter, 

 (Wash. Ct. App. 2013) (remanding for a district court

hearing in a civil commitment proceeding to determine whether the SRA-FV satisfies the

Frye test for admissibility of novel scientific evidence). Although appellant correctly

states that Dr. Kenning testified that the SRA-FV has “been around for a fair amount of

time,” and is commonly used in California, Dr. Kenning also testified that the SRA-FV

involved “more recent research[,]” and she has only used the SRA-FV in “probably about

ten” cases. And Dr. Marshall characterized the SRA-FV as a “relatively new” instrument

and testified that, in her work as a court examiner, she had encountered only one person

using it. In addition, the record shows that the state’s attorney did not stipulate that the

SRA-FV was a “commonly acceptable tool,” but only agreed that its use, in combination

with the Static-99R, was valid in risk assessment. Thus, the district court’s finding that

the SRA-FV is a new test in Minnesota is supported by the record and is not clearly

erroneous.

       Appellant also argues that the district court clearly erred by relying on

Dr. Marshall’s use of the SVR-20, a structured-clinical-judgment measure, rather than

Dr. Kenning’s use of the SRA-FV. He maintains that, based on the record, actuarial

assessments such as the SRA-FV are more accurate at predicting recidivism, noting that

Dr. Marshall acknowledged that some factors in the SVR-20 are not predictive of risk


                                            13
and that she used that instrument in part because she was familiar with it.             But

Dr. Marshall did not assess appellant’s risk of recidivism based exclusively on the SVR-

20; she also used actuarial instruments such as the Static-99R and the MnSOST-3.1. And

significantly, she testified that she looked generally at “the complete picture,” examining

the results of appellant’s interview and psychological testing to evaluate how he was

functioning. Based on this record, the district court did not clearly err by crediting

Dr. Marshall’s opinion and finding that the evidence supported a determination that

appellant was highly likely to reoffend.

       Application of Ince

       Appellant argues that the district court’s commitment decision is inconsistent with

the Minnesota Supreme Court’s recent decision in Ince. In Ince, the supreme court

reaffirmed the “highly likely” standard in determining whether a person is likely to

engage in future acts of harmful sexual conduct. Ince, 

. The supreme

court rejected the argument that the Linehan factors had been displaced by a recent

emphasis on actuarial assessment, stating that “the need for a multi-factor analysis lies in

the very purpose for civil commitment,” and the district court remains in the best position

to evaluate the evidence, including expert-witness credibility. 

 at 22–24. The supreme

court recognized the relevance of actuarial assessment evidence, but it cautioned against

“potential factor repetition that can result from considering the Linehan factors in

addition to multiple actuarial assessments that use different approaches based on factors

that are the same as or similar to the Linehan factors.” 

. The supreme court

remanded the case for additional findings because the district court had “simply reviewed


                                            14
the Linehan factors after largely accepting [an expert’s] opinion[] on the actuarial

evidence [and did not] indicat[e] the significance of any of those factors within the

context of a multi-factor analysis.” 

       Appellant argues that, based on Ince, the district court’s findings and analysis are

clearly erroneous because it engaged in factor repetition by considering the same

evidence in assessing the Linehan factors as it did in examining the actuarial testing

results.   He maintains that the district court could have avoided this repetition by

crediting Dr. Kenning’s opinion because she used the SRA-FV in conjunction with the

Static-99R, which provided a more complete and accurate picture of appellant’s risk level

based on actuarial assessment.

       We reject this argument for two reasons. First, this case is factually dissimilar to

Ince, in which the supreme court stated that the experts’ opinions provided “mixed, if

not contradictory, results based on the actuarial evidence as compared to the Linehan

factors.” 

 The supreme court noted the “difficult task the [district] court faced in this

unique case” and determined that “the unusual nature of the facts and circumstances”

required a remand. 

. In contrast, in this case, although Dr. Marshall and

Dr. Kenning disagreed on appellant’s risk to reoffend, Dr. Marshall’s evaluation of that

risk based on her test results and interview was not inconsistent with her application of

the Linehan factors.

       Second, in Ince, the supreme court stated that it “[could] not determine whether

the district court adhered to the Linehan factors,” 

; but here, the district court

specifically addressed and made findings on the Linehan factors.         For instance, the

district court found, with respect to the second Linehan factor, the history of violent

behavior, that “Dr. Kenning’s focus on [appellant’s] last two offenses as ‘non-violent

sexual offenses’ ignores the fact that these offenses occurred while [he] was under release

conditions, subject to probationary supervision and involved in intensive outpatient sex

offender treatment.” And with respect to the sixth Linehan factor, a person’s record with

respect to sex therapy programs, the district court found that appellant had not completed

sex-offender treatment and most recently offended after several years in outpatient

treatment. Thus, the district court’s findings reflect its independent review of the record

and its correct application of the applicable legal standard as articulated in Ince.

       Appellant acknowledges that, by contending that the district court should have

credited Dr. Kenning’s opinion, he supports a policy argument that the Linehan factors

should be replaced by actuarial tools like the SRA-FV, because the factors are now

represented in the actuarial measurements. But the supreme court in Ince expressly

considered and rejected that argument, reiterating the Linehan factors as part of the

multi-factorial analysis used to evaluate whether a person is highly likely to reoffend.

. Viewing the record in the light most favorable to the district court’s decision,

clear and convincing evidence supports the determination that appellant is highly likely

to engage in further harmful sexual conduct and that he meets the criteria for

commitment as an SDP.

       Less-restrictive alternative

       Appellant also argues, based on Ince, that the record does not support the district

court’s conclusion that he failed to show the availability of a less-restrictive treatment

program meeting his needs and public-safety requirements. See Minn. Stat. § 253D.07,

subd. 3 (Supp. 2013) (stating that if the requirements for committing a person as an SDP

are met, the district court “shall commit the person to a secure treatment facility unless

the person establishes by clear and convincing evidence that a less restrictive treatment

program is available . . . consistent with the person’s treatment needs and the

requirements of public safety”). In Ince, the supreme court concluded that the district

court had made insufficient findings for meaningful appellate review on the issue of a

less-restrictive alternative and ordered additional findings on remand. Ince, 

.

         Appellant argues that the district court failed to make particularized findings on

how his proposed less-restrictive alternative—living at home with his mother and

attending treatment at the Safety Center—would not serve his needs and meet public-

safety requirements. He points out that he presented evidence that, as a Level 3 sex

offender, if released from custody, he would be placed on intensive supervised release

(ISR), which would provide more supervision than his previous probation conditions.

But the district court found that, under appellant’s proposed plan, he would “return[] . . .

to the same community and the same situation in which he was living at the time of his

last criminal offense and his multiple probation and treatment violations.” The district

court also found that, after a short period of time, appellant would be subject to the same

conditions and terms as during his probation, and that the Safety Center could not provide

appropriate treatment because it failed him when he reoffended after three-and-one-half

years in the program. These findings are not clearly erroneous, and they sufficiently


                                             17
support the district court’s determination that appellant has failed to establish by clear

and convincing evidence that a less-restrictive program is available that would meet his

present needs and public-safety requirements.
