Después de que ocurrieran tres violaciones en la Universidad Estatal de Ohio a finales de los años 70, una de las víctimas identificó a su agresor como Milligan, un joven que vivía en la zona y que ya tenía antecedentes penales por violación y robo. Sin embargo, tras su arresto en 1977, Milligan parecía no recordar haber cometido los crímenes.
Debido a que se había utilizado un arma en los crímenes y se encontraron armas en su residencia, Milligan, que entonces tenía 22 años, fue acusado de tres cargos de secuestro, tres cargos de robo agravado y cuatro cargos de violación. Estuvo recluido en la Penitenciaría del Estado de Ohio, donde se sometió a una evaluación psicológica y finalmente le diagnosticaron un trastorno de identidad disociativo, entonces conocido como trastorno de personalidad múltiple. Los abogados de Milligan argumentaron que la personalidad de Milligan había comenzado a fragmentarse durante la infancia, cuando experimentó presuntos abusos a manos de su padrastro Chalmer Milligan (Chalmer siempre negó las acusaciones en su contra). Su defensa legal se basó en la idea de que Milligan no podía ser considerado responsable de las agresiones porque no fueron cometidas por su personalidad principal. Sus abogados también argumentaron que su condición le impedía distinguir entre el bien y el mal o cooperar con su asesor legal.
La legitimidad del diagnóstico de Milligan fue debatida tanto por los profesionales médicos como por el público en general, lo que dio lugar a una amplia cobertura mediática del caso y alimentó una curiosidad duradera. Al final, Milligan fue declarado inocente por demencia criminal y fue internado en un hospital psiquiátrico estatal. En total, los psiquiatras determinaron que al menos 24 personalidades diferentes parecían existir dentro de la mente de Milligan. Según se informa, entre ellos se encontraban un intelectual británico llamado Arthur que estudió ciencias y medicina, una europea del este llamada Regan a quien se refería como la “guardiana del odio” y una adolescente lesbiana llamada Adalana que, según Milligan, era la personalidad detrás de las violaciones. Milligan también afirmó poder hablar y escribir en varios idiomas como resultado de sus alters.
Varios años después de ser institucionalizado, Milligan escapó del Hospital Psiquiátrico Central de Ohio el 4 de julio de 1986. Supuestamente obtuvo documentos falsos con el nombre de Christopher Carr y se instaló en Bellingham, Washington, donde comenzó a vivir con un hombre llamado Michael Madden. Cuando Madden desapareció dos meses después, Milligan huyó del estado pero pronto fue capturado por la policía en Florida. Nadie ha sido condenado nunca por la desaparición de Madden, pero Milligan había estado cobrando los cheques de discapacidad de Madden en una cuenta bancaria compartida.
Después de eso, Milligan fue enviado de regreso a un hospital psiquiátrico en Ohio. Fue puesto en libertad en 1988 después de que un psiquiatra independiente concluyera que ya no representaba un peligro para la sociedad. En agosto de 1991 fue liberado de toda supervisión estatal. No se sabe mucho sobre la vida de Milligan durante este período, aunque hay registros de que vivió en California, y su hermana dice que posteriormente se mudó de regreso a Ohio y vivió en una casa móvil que ella le compró. En 2014, Milligan murió de cáncer a la edad de 59 años.
Sure he went and got psychiatric help and I hope he Did get some genuinely helpful therapy but he shouldn’t have been able to just walk away from the facility with no repercussions. Those women his alter hurt have no idea what’s going on in his head but just knew that he was out and free and could possibly come back for them, plus psychiatrists could’ve Said he’s “normal” but acting like a single person is more often than not really easy to mask as DID is more common than you’d think; it’s more of an invisible mental disorder and with a lot of people you wouldn’t be able to tell they even had it unless they told you. If one of my alters went up and slapped someone they have every right to be mad at me and would fully be rightfully worried as they’d have no idea if I’d just go and slap them again. That being said, people with Dissociative Identity Disorder are not all psychopaths who are gonna snap and try and hurt you at any moment, they’re just regular people who’ve had trauma and their mental state shaped itself to cope with this. Billy Milligan is an awful example and no matter “who” in his head went out and did those things they were all responsible for allowing them to do so.
All crime is due to some form of mental illness; consequently, mental illness should not be allowed to be used to “prove” innocence. It doesn’t matter if a killer has one or 30 or 100 personalities, he still had the mental capacity to commit the crime.
Not guilty by reason of insanity is not like not guilty. You could end up spending more time in custody as your release is based on expert opinion, not a set sentence. It’s sort of a defining trait that mentally ill people have disordered thoughts. Some people can’t grasp that.
One of Billy Milligan’s later personalities that spoke and wrote in a very odd and difficult language was proven to be fake. One of the other patients was doing it for him. if I knew he raped and robbed 4 women and probably killed his roommate, I would not have had the same level of sympathy
I agree he should have paid for his crimes. Sounds fishy to me. He sounds very able to take care of himself if he can make a new identity. My heart goes out to the victims
Kung ang tamang tawag ay ginawa sa pagdedeklara sa kanya na walang kakayahang tumayo sa paglilitis ay nakasalalay sa kung naniniwala kami na ang kanyang DID ay ang tunay na artikulo. Ako ay nananatiling may pag-aalinlangan dahil ito ay napakabihirang isang kondisyon na maraming mga eksperto sa larangan na naniniwala na ito ay hindi talaga umiiral. Sa totoo lang, sa palagay ko para sa sinuman sa amin mula sa labas na tumitingin sa kasong ito, kakailanganin namin ng higit pang impormasyon kaysa sa magagamit ng publiko upang gumawa ng ganoong tawag sa tunay na katangian ng kaso. Sa pinakakaunti ay magkakaroon ng access sa kanyang mga medikal na rekord mula sa kanyang panahon sa isang nuthouse kaysa sa bilangguan at isang pagkakataon na gumugol ng maraming oras sa pakikipag-usap tungkol sa mga hilaw na katotohanang iyon sa mga psychologist na namamahala sa paggamot sa kanya at sa kanya kasama ang iba pang mga ito. personalidad sa isang solong personalidad (na siyang pamantayan kung saan siya pinakawalan). Kung wala ang mga bagay na iyon, hindi ko nakikita kung paano maaaring gumawa ang sinuman ng isang ,edical na pagpapasiya…. Sa abot ng isang legal na pagpapasiya, na nangangailangan lamang na tanggapin natin ang lahat ng mga katotohanang ipinakita sa kaso bilang totoo at ilapat ang batas mula sa pamantayang iyon. oo, tama ang ginawa nila. Sa legal na pagsasalita, kumilos ang hukuman alinsunod sa nauugnay na batas kriminal at mga pamamaraan ng hudisyal.
I think he really did have alternate personalities and didn’t belong in jail but rather a mental institution and never released because there is no way of knowing if he was cured or not.
I say boo on those liberal schmucks who allowed crazy and violent Billy Milligan not to be incarcerated for his crimes which made it too easy for him to escape the mental hospital where his personalities were being “fused together”
Billy Milligan’s attorney Gary Schweickart was key in his defense and at the time he would represent high profile cases! I had a business in the Ohio State University area during this time and I remember that the news back then was by newspaper or TV.
The mind can do unbelievable things when coping with trauma. I do find it believable that this could have been true with Billy Milligan. A fascinating case for sure!
This case hits home for me because my girlfriend had Dissociative Identity Disorder. And I know there’s controversy about it but knowing my friend she would never lie about something like this. She had a horrific childhood she was raised in a satanic cult. So of course she’s going to fracture into many altars to help her cope with something so heinous on an ongoing basis. I’ve already read some of the comments and it’s obvious that people do not understand dissociative identity disorder. There’s also something very prevalent in this disorder and it’s called amnesia.
Billy should have been held responsible. Ultimately they “fused” Billy’s disparate personalities into one. The word fused tells me each of the individual personalities was part of Billy. If that’s true, Billy was indeed responsible.
I believe dissociative personality disorder is very real – and I think it needs to be treated, but I also think that if one of the personalities commits a violent crime it should be punished, no matter what body it is in.
I have seen many people who have been diagnosed with DID, many were not diagnosed correctly, this is actually a rare diagnosis and out of the over twenty years of treating trauma, I have only had one true DID client, others were people who have possibly made it up to deal with trauma or to get attention that was also connected to trauma. The person that had the DID had been severely abused from a young age, this person split off to handle his trauma. Most don’t know they have these other personalities, and they just think they lose time. The person who had these personalities would have very different personalities and a few that dominated to protect. The personalities also coincided with specific events in their life that came out to handle the trauma.
Not everyone with Dissociative Identity disorder is a danger, they are people just like us who have gone through abuse repeatedly no animal, child, or person should ever have to. Just to clarify.

There is a book called “The Minds of Billy Milligan” I read this book, twice. I am not a big reader, but a friend kept nagging me to read it, and I did. I was in the Navy at the time and out to sea so there isn’t a lot to do, so I started to read it. I never realized a book could scare someone, this one will scare you, it will be very hard to read it alone. It is an amazing story and very worth your time. This short video does not even begin to describe this guys life, it is, in a word, insane. Just one thing, when you find out what happen to Billy as a child, you will understand why he ended up the way he did, and trust me, what happened to him, is a thousand times worse than what you can think of.
After reading about numerous patients with similar diagnoses, it really makes me feel that humans are born with infinite knowledge, we just cannot access all of it, or some can access more than others. How do we explain how these people can suddenly speak other languages, play the piano like he/she is a trained musician, perform medical assessments like a doctor, etc. Its all so mind blowing to me! Sorry for rambling.
Billy’s step father was never charged. He tortured Billy to the point his brain had to split into alters to protect Billy. Billy’s sister and brother verify the abuse by Chalmer Milligan

Comment24 razones para mantener a este loco en la carcel
If ur body rapes someone, ur body should be in jail. If r body is capable of raping pl without ur knowledge, it’s a public safety issue ..
He should’ve found all 24 personalities guilty, because he’s full of shite
What is the benefit to society for putting so much effort into trying to “cure” such a person?
Sure he went and got psychiatric help and I hope he Did get some genuinely helpful therapy but he shouldn’t have been able to just walk away from the facility with no repercussions. Those women his alter hurt have no idea what’s going on in his head but just knew that he was out and free and could possibly come back for them, plus psychiatrists could’ve Said he’s “normal” but acting like a single person is more often than not really easy to mask as DID is more common than you’d think; it’s more of an invisible mental disorder and with a lot of people you wouldn’t be able to tell they even had it unless they told you.

This is just an insane man. He ain’t possessed by ghosts. Lock him in the crazy house.
I think he lied to get away from the responsibility of his heinous crimes.
I think he sounds more like a manipulative psychopath and sadist.
I do too.
He doesn’t belong to any community.
He was sleeping when he did thing evil,well he not safe to be among society !
24 personality’s hmmm Split movie,was 23….24th was Devil
Should be LOCKED UP️
All crime is due to some form of mental illness; consequently, mental illness should not be allowed to be used to “prove” innocence. It doesn’t matter if a killer has one or 30 or 100 personalities, he still had the mental capacity to commit the crime.

He should’ve been held responsible for the actions that began as ideas in his mind, and no one else’s.
One of Billy Milligan’s later personalities that spoke and wrote in a very odd and difficult language was proven to be fake.
One of the other patients was doing it for him. if I knew he raped and robbed 4 women and probably killed his roommate, I would not have had the same level of sympathy
I remember this case. He should be found accountable.
I agree he should have paid for his crimes. Sounds fishy to me. He sounds very able to take care of himself if he can make a new identity. My heart goes out to the victims
How Tragically Horrible

Certain states are more lenient towards the suspects rather than showing empathy for the victims.
This reminds me of the book Primal Fear.
That book still gives me cold chills.
If one of his personalities deserved life in prison then all of them did, for not stopping the criminals. I think it’s ridiculous that he’s out.
The mind can do unbelievable things when coping with trauma. I do find it believable that this could have been true with Billy Milligan. A fascinating case for sure!

My wife has this condition. Thank goodness, she didn’t have any aggressive personalities.
I’m not sure I’m buying the multiple personalities theory. There’s premeditation. He should have been locked up FOREVER!!
I believe dissociative personality disorder is very real – and I think it needs to be treated, but I also think that if one of the personalities commits a violent crime it should be punished, no matter what body it is in.
This split happens in hypnosis too, when the hypnotizer makes you believe what he wants
The human mind is capable of some amazing things
I highly recommend the book Minds of Billy Milligan by the author of Flowers for Algerbon.
I have seen many people who have been diagnosed with DID, many were not diagnosed correctly, this is actually a rare diagnosis and out of the over twenty years of treating trauma, I have only had one true DID client, others were people who have possibly made it up to deal with trauma or to get attention that was also connected to trauma. The person that had the DID had been severely abused from a young age, this person split off to handle his trauma. Most don’t know they have these other personalities, and they just think they lose time. The person who had these personalities would have very different personalities and a few that dominated to protect. The personalities also coincided with specific events in their life that came out to handle the trauma.
I’ve been studying this disorder for awhile and i can’t imagine how difficult it is to live with 24 personalities. It’s hard just having two
Not everyone with Dissociative Identity disorder is a danger, they are people just like us who have gone through abuse repeatedly no animal, child, or person should ever have to. Just to clarify.
