Protecting vulnerable adults from sexual abuse

Abstract

Here, the legal situation relating to sexual activity and people with reduced capacity is considered. From the starting point of one recent, contentious case, the column goes on to examine the current state of legal protection and intervention, and looks at how this could be improved by current developments and possible future changes.
