The court of protection has ruled that a man who cannot understand the issue of consent must be allowed to pursue sexual relationships.
Mrs Justice Roberts ruled that the man, who has autism with impaired cognition and lives in a supported residential placement, has a fundamental right to sex.
The court considers issues relating to people who might lack the mental capacity to make decisions.
A clinical psychologist submitted a report saying that the 36-year-old man, referred to as JB, represents a moderate risk of sexual offending to women, particularly to those who are vulnerable, and that JB cannot understand that a womans consent is relevant in sexual situations, nor that attempting sex without consent is likely to be a criminal offense.
However, the judge said that insisting that JB understands the issue of consent before being allowed to pursue sexual relationships would be discrimination because it would impose on him a burden which a capacitous individual may not share.

Mrs Justice Roberts.
You ruled for him, sugartits, now you get to deal with him.
Greta Thunberg springs to mind... I can't think of anyone who more desperately needs a badaboom. At 16, she is legally old enough.
You can read about these encounters, every few days, on the American Rifleman website, "The Armed Citizen".
I can’t think of anyone more unattractive—to the extent that only a low-IQ moron would want her...and then just looking at her, the effort would fall flat.
Whoopis Goldberg will interview this judge next week.
castrate these mutts
This ruling goes completely contradicts the legal reasoning underpinning statutory rape laws.
She is a life support system for a vaj. In the Dark, they all look alike.
If you want a friend, buy a dog.
And I have the right to defend myself against anyone that doesn’t understand my right to say NO!
All those folks in ‘The Armed Citizen’ seem to understand deadly force quite well.
That was my first thought.
Another judge going by feelings instead of logic.
Best line of the week, maybe the month. The UK has gone certifiably insane.
so if i don’t understand finances, can i legally pursue bank robberies? Home invasions? Grand theft Auto? Petty Larceny?
The real issue is to make committing rape legal for Muslims and then to make it a crime for a woman to refuse or resist. This decision is a start. Next they will rule that Islam has a “rich cultural heritage” that sees sex and consent differently than the rotten evil Western societies. So Muslim men will be given complete freedom to abuse their women and complete freedom to rape Western women. And the New Wave feminists will fully support this.
I always wonder why I never hear any British agitation for something resembling our Bill of Rights.
He should be locked up in an insane asylum, in a locked room, where he cannot hurt anyone.
The “doctor” who concluded that it was OK to let him loose in society, because if he doesn’t understand “no”, he can ignore it, should be locked up in an asylum too, he is a danger to society, letting dangerous, crazy people run around loose.
Apparently, in the UK, go for it. Act as if you are mentally impaired, and this Judge will consider that you, "cannot understand that a womans consent is relevant in sexual situations, nor that attempting sex without consent is likely to be a criminal offence."
The judge said that insisting that you understands the issue of consent before being allowed to pursue sexual relationships would be discrimination because it would impose on you a burden which a capacitous individual may not share.
Stop laughing. This silly, Socialist twit is serious. I would say that simply voting democrat would qualify as "someone who might lack the mental capacity to make decisions." This makes you gold.
Bill Clinton will find this “more interesting”.
The "journalist" who wrote this article apparently has no understanding of the subjunctive mood.
JB doesn't understand the issue, therefore one cannot insist that "JB understands...."
