CONCURRING STATEMENT BY
KLEIN, J.:
¶ 1 Dr. Stein’s diagnosis was that Geiter suffered from the personality disorder, pedophilia, and all pedophiles are likely to engage in predatory sexually violent offenses in the future. Therefore, the third criterion, that Geiter was likely to reof-fend, was part of the evidence and justifies the SVP classification. Therefore, I do not believe it appropriate in this case to decide whether or not someone can be classified as an SVP absent evidence that the offender is likely to reoffend. This significant question should not be decided in dicta.
