An Oroville, CA man faces charges for rape of a mentally ill person, rape with a foreign object, and lewd and lascivious acts upon a dependant for raping a woman he was supposed to be transporting to Vallejo, CA from a hospital in Solano, CA. The 22 year old victim, with a history of mental illness, was transported from Butte County, where there were no psychiatric beds, to Vallejo by Ronald Edward Phillips, 32.
The woman was placed on a 72-hour hold, or "5150," something which can only occur in California under three conditions - The patient is a danger to him or herself; dangerous to others; or gravely disabled (unable to provide for his or her basic personal needs for food, clothing or shelter). Police found out that Phillips raped the woman in a Vallejo motel by looking at hotel records.
