So would I. What I do *not* accept however is that a sexual
relationship with a non-handicapped person is necessarily abusive in
nature. In particular, there is nothing in the report of the case in
question that gives any indication that the man was abusive, intended
to be abusive, or was likely to have done any harm to the woman had he
continued with a relationship.

As such, my feeling is that the only abuse has been that perpetrated
on the man by our current law and justice system and also by the
moronic vigilantes, and quite possibly on the woman for taking away a
person who may well have given her support and affection that she
wanted.
