He was arrested at Ohio State University after committing several crimes. He was born in 1955. After getting arrested in 1975, he was released on parole in 1977. He was again arrested in October 1977 for rape crimes, assaulting three girls in his own university. Billy was released back in 1996, and since then he had been living in his house.
He died of cancer in 2012. Various books and shows were made on Billy, and the last released show on him was the Netflix original docu-series ‘Monsters Inside: The 24 Faces of Billy Milligan.’ And now, an Apple TV original show is also streaming.
