A man with Down Syndrome was prevented from having sex with his wife, whom he married in 2010, until he received special training from the government on sex. The program had been designed to train learning disabled men when it was appropriate or inappropriate to engage in sex. It should be noted that the man and his wife had been having consensual sex for years before the court order.
This kind of ruling shows you that coercive enterprises will, again and again and again, subject the ‘citizens’ to the minuscule letter of the law, even as they themselves create major loopholes to fundamentally violate the ‘original spirit’ of laws that no longer serve to protect them but, if followed, might actually serve to protect the citizens FROM them.
