[quote] [B]Court bans man with low IQ from having sex[/B] [B] A man with a low IQ has been banned from having sex by a High Court judge who admitted the case raised questions about “civil liberties and personal autonomy”. [/B] The 41 year-old had been in a relationship with a man whom he lived with and told officials “it would make me feel happy” for it to continue. But his local council decided his “vigorous sex drive” was inappropriate and that with an IQ of 48 and a “moderate” learning disability, he did not understand what he was doing. A psychiatrist involved in the case even tried to prevent the man being given sex education, on the grounds that it would leave him “confused”. Mr Justice Mostyn said the case was “legally, intellectually and morally” complex as sex is “one of the most basic human functions” and the court must “tread especially carefully” when the state tries to curtail it. But he agreed that the man, known only as Alan, should not be allowed to have sex with anyone on the grounds that he did not have the mental capacity to understand the health risks associated with his actions. Under the judge’s [URL="http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/COP/2011/101.html"]order[/URL], the man is now subject to “close supervision” by the local authority that provides his accommodation, in order to ensure he does not break the highly unusual order. The judge concluded: “I therefore make a declaration that at the present time Alan does not have the capacity to consent to and engage in sexual relations. “In such circumstances it is agreed that the present régime for Alan's supervision and for the prevention of future sexual activity is in his best interests.” It is the latest controversial case to come before the Court of Protection, a little-known authority whose proceedings are held behind closed doors. Under the Mental Capacity Act 2005, its judges have the power to make life or death decisions for people deemed to lack the intelligence to make them for themselves – such as ordering that they undergo surgery, have forced abortions, have life-support switched off or be forced to use contraception. In the latest case, the man known as Alan was described as “sociable” and “presented as an able man” but who was “seriously challenged in all aspects of his mental functionality”. He lived in a home provided by the council, where he developed a sexual relationship with a man called Kieron by the court. Alan was also accused of making lewd gestures at children in a dentists’ surgery and on a bus, although no police action was taken. In June 2009 the town hall began court proceedings to restrict his contact with Kieron on the grounds that he lacked mental capacity, and an interim order was made to that effect. “Since then Alan has been subjected to close supervision to prevent any further sexual activity on his part,” except when he is alone in his bedroom. However he told representatives of the Official Solicitor, who acts in the Court of Protection, to tell the judge “I want to kiss them again”. Mr Justice Mostyn highlighted the fact that the court cannot prevent people from merely making “unwise” decisions, and that a simple test can be carried out to see if a person is capable of consenting to sex based on the act itself rather than the proposed partner. The judge said it requires an understanding and awareness of the “mechanics of the act”, “that there are health risks involved” and that sex between a man and a woman may lead to pregnancy. He said that the psychiatrist thought Alan “believed that babies were delivered by a stork or found under a bush”, and that “sex could give you spots or measles”. On that basis the judge ruled that Alan did not have the capacity to consent to sex, but also ordered that the council should provide him with sex education “in the hope that he thereby gains that capacity”.[/quote] [url]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/8301100/Court-bans-man-with-low-IQ-from-having-sex.html[/url] Wow this is so harsh
An IQ of 48, and no sex? Well, in that case I'm so screwed.
An IQ of 48, you say? [img]http://bestuff.com/images/images_of_stuff/210x600/brick-tamland-39895.jpg?1173651358[/img] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvKl7nUiHEY[/media] (first clip)
What does the pregnancy thing have to do with it when he's fucking guys.
Sounds like he was boning a teenager or younger and can't be charged with rape or statutory rape and they don't want to bring it up or they'll be accused of bigotry.
:wtc:
1 step closer to a better world.
What do they do if they catch him engaging in said sexual misdemeanours? How do they catch him? Does he have a 24/7 camera team watching his every move?

I find it funny how everybody assumes hes gonna take certain thing a certain way or be confused.
He's gay, what the fuck does banning him from sex accomplish?

oh wow that's fucked up mate
Wait, now there's something wrong with it. [quote]But his local council decided his “vigorous sex drive” was inappropriate and that with an IQ of 48 and a “moderate” learning disability, he did not understand what he was doing. [/quote] How can he not understand what is going on? Obviously his ass is getting rammed or he's doing the ramming, if he likes it who gives a fuck. It isn't like, "Oh gee, my asshole sure hurts but I don't know whats going on!!!" It's, "I like it, so why do you say I don't understand"
Penis goes where?
How does poop come out of that
Mixed feelings Statutory rape laws based on age are really arbitrary as your age doesn't always define your maturity or ability to make decisions. Neither does your IQ.
So what's this guy Kieron's story/excuse? If the guy you're humping is retarded that's not gay? Too dumb for school, can cum on my tool?
[QUOTE=Zeke129;27860446]Mixed feelings Statutory rape laws based on age are really arbitrary as your age doesn't always define your maturity or ability to make decisions. Neither does your IQ.[/QUOTE] In this case, I think IQ [i]does[/i] influence his ability to make decisions (though you're right in that it doesn't always) There's a lot to sex beyond "it feels good" which a mentally disabled person would not be able to learn about.

[QUOTE=cccritical;27860728]as harsh as it sounds he isn't fit for sex and I sincerely doubt that [i]any[/i] of the people he's made moves on wanted it[/QUOTE] Well he's obviously mentally handicapped but he still likely derives enjoyment from sex and IS an adult. The only way to judge this one is to evaluate the person he's having sex with to determine whether or not they're attempting to exploit his handicap for sex
let me simplify my stance he's trying to stick his dick into children when he's at the dentist's office and waves his dick around towards school buses that's unacceptable
[QUOTE=Jimpy;27859536]What does the pregnancy thing have to do with it when he's fucking guys.[/QUOTE] It's also a health risk with STD's and such.
[QUOTE=cccritical;27860989]let me simplify my stance he's trying to stick his dick into children when he's at the dentist's office and waves his dick around towards school buses that's unacceptable[/QUOTE] i'm not sure "lewd gestures" means trying to stick his dick into children or waving his dick around school buses...
I bet my IQ is lower... Dun ban me from shex.
Okay, since my first joke didn't work how about this: By law, how high of an IQ do you need to qualify for sex? 69
Nobody can tell this guy they're going to fuck his brains out now can they.
[QUOTE=RagingHadron;27861649]I bet my IQ is lower... Dun ban me from shex.[/QUOTE] No need to, no one would want your terrible sense of humor.
