I think this is a brilliant idea!!!!!!!!

"Since then Alan has been subjected to close supervision to prevent any further sexual activity on his part," said the judge.

Sex Patrol? Really? So they really send the Secret Sexvice (ha!) to watch for this? Wowwwww.

Hopefully this is a wake up call for Our own Alan here aka FactFinder

So how do they monitor this? Do they put a gps tracker on his junk?
Instead of an ankle bracelet, what would they call it? Maybe it's just a chip.

I think a lot of us on this forum would be forced into celibacy if we lived in Canada.

I think if we knew the complete story, this would probably make sense. If the guy he is having sex with took advantage of him, this would be similar to a man having sex with a retarded girl who doesn't really have any concept of the act beyond the thought that "it feels good".
Dealing with the mentally handicapped has got to be a slippery slope in this regard.
If you go cruising the Special Olympics for a date and impregnate a mentally incapacitated girl, could it be seen as rape with misconstrued consent?

Was thinking the same thing......

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.

Britain is not Canada! While this story was reprinted in The Vancouver Sun, it originated in The Daily Telegraph which is a newspaper from London, England. Right under the title of the story it says by Martin Beckford, The Daily Telegraph. In the ninth paragraph, the first line states "It is the latest controversial case to come before Britain's Court of Protection...", not British Columbia's, and up here it would be the B.C. Supreme Court. Sorry, wrong country!

I have always said that the best way to solve most of this country's problems is to prevent stupid people having stupid kids. Pleased to see we are on the right road. We just need to raise that IQ level slightly. The other option is to ban people who wear track suits as day wear from having children. The result would be approximately the same.

I'm forwarding these posts to a friend who is a judge in Boston , hoping this will be enough evidence to give Enigma the same court order as the poor stupid British lad

My mistake. It was originally reported as happening in Candada when I watched the news, and is all over every Canadian website. Not to mention, the Canadian government just purchased a home in Wellesley, MA for the Canadian Consulate and the purchaser of the home listed in the paper was Queen Elizabeth II, so I didn't think it was a huge leap of faith that a county with a province named "British" Columbia may also have a court with the name "Britain's" Court of Protection!

Canadians ARE British, they're just on extended holiday.

You don know she's also the Queen of Canada, Australia and New Zealand as well, right?

Canadians AREN'T British - we are Canadian! Canucks are a distinct and unique group, just like Aussies and Kiwis! We are members of the Commonwealth and Queen Elizabeth II is the head of our constitutional monarchy, but it is more symbolic than practical. I like that the historical ties remain, but our nation is no longer a British colony.

I have a feeling that was his humor. It's kind of eeyore dry, but funny!

Well, I'm not surprised the story got picked up here and is being reported in all of our papers, but so did the story about Lindsay Lohan being busted for grand theft - that doesn't mean she lives in Vancouver. When you click on those links, you'll notice that under the title of the story it says 'The Daily Telegraph', but to be fair not everyone will recognize the name of a London newspaper. For future reference, British Columbia is a Canadian province (like a US state, only bigger) typically called BC, and Britain is the common name for the United Kingdom.

A lot of Americans think we are British, so it could be either. No worries, because it wasn't offensive or anything. The funny thing is we are more like Americans than Brits in many ways - no one up here really plays soccer past middle school or drives on the left side of the road unless they are trying to get around a bear or pass traffic that is doing the speed limit.

Who took my money?
