I have had a lot of experience with AD. There are sometimes flashes of “sanity” very late in the process. I am not saying this guy isn’t a weirdo, but if I were on the jury I would probably want to hear a lot more before convicting this guy.
I would bet he’s not all their either. The stress of that horrible disease is punishment enough for any caregiver.
Not all their = not all there. iPad auto correct can make you look stoopid.
I agree. My aunt died from AD a year ago and it’s far worse a disease, especially emotionally for family and friends.
Treading into very murky waters here. When is mental incapacity of such a degree that attempted sex becomes assault? Were that an acceptable premise, what is the dividing line between “consent” and “assault”?
People do not stop thinking about sex because most of their cognitive abilities have diminished or largely disappeared. That DRIVE exists at a much deeper level than the human forebrain, and it has little to do with any inclination toward procreation or even loving feelings. Both those concepts come at a much later point in the upward evolution of the brain functions.
Poignant and accurate, Lt. My late wife and I enjoyed our last encounter shortly before she went (willingly) into a nursing home. Thereafter, I said no. She had regressed to pre-puberty emotionally, and I couldn’t handle it. We still cuddled, though.
