Ah, to stop the person being sent to a low or medium secure hospital because of his 'offending behaviour', no doubt.
He only touches women (or men) up because he's autistic. And has a fundamental right to sex. Obviously a greater fundamental right than that of a woman (or man) not to be molested by a mentalist.
Lawyers and judges should be embarassed to take their salaries and fees for supporting this sort of nonsense.
Where does his freedom to pursue sex end and the right of others not to be sexually threatened by him begin?
Clearly he represents a sexual threat or the case would never have been brought. Whether that is his fault or not isn't really the point. If he represents a substantive threat, his freedom ought to be restricted. After all, we effectively do this via the Mental Health Act with sectioning, etc.
But a clinical psychologist has made clear that he represents a moderate risk of sexually offending against women because he is mentally impaired, horny as fúck and cannot understand consent. If he then goes on to commit such a sexual offence, how would you justify the decision to give him that chance to his victims?
As I say, the principle of precautionary restriction of freedom already exists within the provisions of the Mental Health Act. Not to apply it here seems extremely rash.
