Autistic woman, 23, 'pimped out' by carers to strangers as part of an experiment so she could "learn from her mistakes"
The woman's family accused care authorities of allowing an 'experiment' that resulted in the 'pimping out of a highly vulnerable young woman' and condemned the scheme altogether
According to a news report, an autistic woman was allowed to be "pimped out" to strangers by her caretakers so she could "learn from her mistakes" after her condition meant she sought risky sex. A Manchester court approved a two-month trial for the 23-year-old during which men would visit her care home for sex during daylight hours.
However, the scheme was concluded after a psychiatrist told the judge that continually exposing the woman, who has learning difficulties, to high-risk situations, could eventually lead to "sexual abuse, violence, injury or death." Documents pertaining to the peculiar case were released to Andrew Norfolk of The Times after a court order.
