| Judge bans man with low IQ from having sex.
Judge bans man with low IQ from having sex
BY MARTIN BECKFORD, THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, UK, FEBRUARY 4, 2011
A man with a low IQ has been banned from having sexual intercourse by a High Court judge who admitted the case raised questions about "civil liberties and personal autonomy".
The 41 year-old had been in a relationship with a man with whom he lived and told officials "it would make me feel happy" for it to continue.
But his local council, which provides his accommodation, 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. It started legal proceedings to restrict the relationship.
A psychiatrist involved in the case 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 intercourse 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 order, the man is now subject to "close supervision" by the local authority to ensure he does not break the highly unusual order. The judge concluded: "Alan does not have the capacity to consent to and engage in sexual relations.
"In such circumstances it is agreed that the present regime 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 Britain's Court of Protection. 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 being physically able but "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.
The town hall began court proceedings in 2009 to restrict contact with Kieron on the grounds that he lacked mental capacity, and an interim order was made.
"Since then Alan has been subjected to close supervision to prevent any further sexual activity on his part," said the judge.

3/4 of the American public would have to stop having sex, then.

I hate the UK. That whole concept that the gov't can live your life better than you. It's scary!
First, I think this definitely has something to do with it being homo. Scary right there.
Second, where is the cut off to being allowed to get laid? IQ of 45, no ass for you, but 50 is cool, go get it on?
Third, he's a ward of the state, so that makes it seem like they have a right to make decisions for him.
You couldn't pay me enough to move there. Visit for a week, sure. Never would I knowingly move to the UK. Cameras everywhere, tax and spend policies that will eventually go bust.
Shit...I could go on forever. Bad, bad place.

According to that logic, half of those that frequent RS would be banned from having sex. Hate to say it, but it might do society some good.

If he was scoring with a woman, people would be congratulating him.
As far as him being on social assistance, what does it really matter?

The headline sounds scarily like eugenics, bringing science back a few hundred years or so. But really it makes sense, it's more about the guy not being able to take proper care of himself.
EDIT: Wow, not as long ago as I thought... Read the whole Wiki on it, it's quite fascinating (and scary)

"A psychiatrist involved in the case tried to prevent the man being given sex education, on the grounds that it would leave him "confused"."
Why would basic sex ed confuse him being that its a instinctive urge? Because basic sex ed is based on straight coupling. One would assume this half wit has never had a chance to copulate with a woman. A difference he has yet to distinguish so he satisfies those urges with a man.
By these assessments I think it would be safe to assume the gov is basing this judgment on the fact its a gay relationship if he was screwing a woman he'd be left alone and or be given sex ed in an attempt to understand the risks.

In Alberta, the Sexual Sterilization Act was enacted in 1928, focusing the movement on the sterilization of mentally deficient individuals, as determined by the Alberta Eugenics Board.
Individuals were assessed using IQ tests like the Stanford-Binet. This posed a problem to new immigrants arriving in Canada, as many had not mastered the English language, and often their scores denoted them as having impaired intellectual functioning. As a result, many of those sterilized under the Sexual Sterilization Act were immigrants who were unfairly categorized.[102] The province of British Columbia enacted its own Sexual Sterilization Act in 1933. As in Alberta, the British Columbia Eugenics Board could recommend the sterilization of those it considered to be suffering from "mental disease or mental deficiency."
Although the eugenics excesses of Nazi Germany diminished the popularity of the eugenics movement, the Sexual Sterilization Acts of Alberta and British Columbia were not repealed until 1972

I'm half surprised they didn't make this into some type of statutory rape charge for the other party as well considering the ruling.
