Billy Milligan- Biography

Billy Milligan was an American who rose to prominence as a result of his court case in Ohio in the late 1970s. He committed multiple offenses and was later arrested for raping three women on the Ohio State University campus. His psychologist diagnosed him with multiple personality disorder to protect him from additional criminal attacks and prepare his case. His lawyers argued that he was insane and that two of his personas committed the crime without informing Milligan about it. Billy was the first person to be diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder, and he was the first person to commit this serious crime as a result of it, rather than spending a decade in a mental hospital. Daniel Keyes, who won an award for his non-fiction novel “The Minds of Billy Milligan,” promoted Milligan’s life story.
