-
- A young mentally retarded woman was persuaded to engage in sexual activity
- by some high school youths, neighbors of her and football players, who
- told her that they would take her on a date if she performed these
- activities. She performed oral sex on them, and they stuck inappropriate
- objects in her vagina; then they left. The young woman stuck around the
- basement where this all happened for hours. She was convinced the young
- men would come back and take her on a date!
-
- When court-appointed personnel examined her, she seemed to have no
- idea that the young men were not her friends; she merely wondered why
- they didn't come back! And she did not appear to have any sexual
- feelings or desire for sexual release of her own.
-
- Once again, I am not saying that sexual intercourse with a retarded
- person is *necessarily* rape. But I think it clearly was in this case!
