Graydon et al. (2006) Murdoch University stance <strong>of</strong> “unjustified paternalism”<br />
Current range <strong>of</strong> legislative efforts are untenable and unenforceable and<br />
extending the range <strong>of</strong> persons prohibited from sexual relationships <strong>with</strong><br />
people <strong>with</strong> mental impairment will not reduce incidence <strong>of</strong> sexual assault.<br />
“reporting rates are currently low so it is difficult to see how prohibiting<br />
more sexual liaisons would alter that. <strong>Sexual</strong> <strong>of</strong>fences in general are<br />
underreported and are defended in court more than any other type <strong>of</strong><br />
crime. The difficulties <strong>of</strong> testifying in court are amplified for persons <strong>with</strong><br />
mental impairment and convictions may be more difficult to secure when the<br />
victim has a mental impairment. Persons <strong>with</strong> mental impairment are<br />
unaware <strong>of</strong> complaint channels”.
