William Stanley Milligan (born 1955), known as Billy Milligan, was the subject of a highly publicized court case in Ohio in the late 1970s. After having committed several felonies including armed robbery, he was arrested for three rapes on the Ohio State University campus. In the course of preparing his defense, psychologists determined that Milligan had Multiple Personality Disorder; 10 personalities were identified. Examination by psychiatrists suggested that two of Milligan's personalities had committed the crimes without the others being aware of it. Milligan pleaded insanity, the first person diagnosed with multiple personality disorder to do so.
