Seems from this developing court case, in some states if you want to be able to continue possessing the right to have sex as an older person, you might have to get cooperation from the medical community. But...
According to your article, its against that states laws to have sex with someone who cannot consent. Period.
They have to follow the law at the nursing home, period.
From your article:
Iowa law defines an act as sexual abuse in the third degree if the two parties are not living together as husband and wife and if one person "is suffering from a mental defect or incapacity which precludes giving consent."
What if you wrote a living will, that, in case of senility, you still consent to sex with your partner unless you orally withdraw that consent?
Irrelevant when it violates the law.
Yes should still mean yes even if you are old.
No yes possible, when one cannot legally consent, see your own article and actually read the whole thing this time, and not just the parts you like.
I think people should try to protect that right.
What right, there was no right under state law. Again read your own article.
Again to refresh your memory (or lack of reading skills)
Iowa law defines an act as sexual abuse in the third degree if the two parties are not living together as husband and wife and if one person "is suffering from a mental defect or incapacity which precludes giving consent."
Get it this time?
People should think it's wonderful that those two elderly love birds still have passion, and it's probably what keeps Donna alive in that cold place.
Now its clear you didnt read your own article, your article said she is dead, and these charges against him werent even filed till after she died.
From your article:
State prosecutors say Henry Rayhons — a long-serving state lawmaker — ignored that message. On Wednesday, he will stand trial for sexually assaulting his wife, who died last August. The charges were filed days after she died.
You didn't read it all did you?
What will happen now - now that her soul mate is taken from her? Why must he spend his last years on earth rotting behind bars for doing what he and his love have always done willingly and joyfully?
You are totally gone. Next time, actually read the entire article YOU post.
As far as your title, old love? They were only married 7 years.
From the first line of your article:
When Henry and Donna Lou Rayhons married seven years ago in their northern Iowa hometown, it was a second chance at love for the devoted couple, both previously widowed.
So for a good part of that 7 years, to be so deteriorated, she was not well taken care of, or she was already ill when they married.
Also hes a voyeuristic pervert: (from YOUR article)
According to court documents, Henry Rayhons entered his wife's room about a week later, pulled the curtains around her bed and a roommate heard noises that suggested sexual activity. As Rayhons left, he dropped undergarments in a laundry basket.
Perv did that with someone else in the room with them. In a hospital.
What a sick freak. And you are defending this? When you didnt even read the article you posted?
Wow.
