Man is banned from having sex by High Court judge because his IQ is too low

A man with an IQ of 48 has been ordered to stop having sex by a High Court judge.

Known only as Alan, the 41-year-old was in a relationship with a man he lived with and said he wanted it to continue.

However, his local council said his 'vigorous sex drive' was inappropriate so started legal proceedings to restrict the relationship.

The authority said that his moderate learning disability and IQ of just 48 - the average is 100 - meant he did not understand what he was doing.

One psychiatrist said that he would be confused if sex education was given to him.

Mr Justice Mostyn said the case threw up issues 'legally, intellectually and morally' because sex is 'one of the most basic human functions' according to the Daily Telegraph.

He said that the court must 'tread especially carefully' when the state gets involved.

Despite his fears for interfering in a person's sex life, he agreed that he did not have the mental capacity to know about the health risks and should be banned from having sex.

His council will now monitor him closely to make sure he doesn't breach the order.

Justice Mostyn said: '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.

Alan, who lived in a house owned by the council, was in a sexual relationship with someone known as Kieron and contact between the two men has been restricted.

He was said to be physically able but 'seriously challenged in all aspects of his mental functionality.

Isn't this a violation of human rights? This sounds like some serious police state s***.

It makes sense. The guy has the mental capacity of a young child and the sex drive of a grown man. The potential for abuse is huge.

Um, but that's a natural thing, it's like saying I can't get a job becuase I'm on disability.

Also ADHD and sex drive are like Alcohol and Marijuana combined.

**** humanity I'm going to save myself from myself.

A fair point that I realized right after I posted- it would be better off if they arrest those who try to have sex with him instead. IMO, it's the equivalent of statutory rape.

As evidence, the court reviewed the defendant's documents and found that he had several copies of the Daily Mail in his possession. In the court's written judgment, Justice Mostyn wrote "I'm sorry, but for the sake of posterity, anyone who actually believes this stuff should not be allowed to breed..."

*cough*

Daily Mail.. is that the same thing as the National Inquirer? (Pardon my ignorance but given I don't live in an english speaking country with english newspapers I'm not 100% sure).

There was a guy with an IQ of around that range in my village. He was mostly harmless (though he once creeped me out when he was just sitting on the chairs outside of the clinic after everyone else left and I had thoughts in one of those he might rape me but he left).

I don't know why he was that way, didn't seem to have a genetic disease but his parents said he got polio as a kid (which I doubt is the cause because my mom got polio as a child and has a BA and english teaching certificates equivalent of a masters degree). However the way he looked at people in general, the guy had the face of someone with a huge sex drive and if he had someone to have sex with, I'm pretty sure he'd do it. He's still capable of buying doughnuts and soda from the stores but is mentally incapable of having a job even as a farmer assistant.

I know of a woman in a nearby village with a moderate mental retardation that suffers from epilepsy that lives alone in a hut. I've heard when she was younger was raped continuously by random men because she was female and vulnerable.

I think that at least in this guy's case, if he had been in a very stable relationship with his boyfriend and used the excuse that the jury wants to separate them because they're homophobics defense, they might have won the case to at least stay together and have the boyfriend as his legal guardian. But if it's a case where this guy was just sleeping around, maybe it was in his best interest. I doubt he'd understand what HIV is.
