What a ****ed up person. I cant believe someone could do that.

"The victim wears a diaper and requires assistance with basic needs such as eating, walking and bathing and has the mental capacity of a toddler"

"Stubblefield admitted taking him out of the wheelchair, putting him on the floor in her office, removing his diaper and performing oral sex on the victim on one occasion.

She admitted engaging in vaginal intercourse at her Rutgers University office,"

This is a special kind of f***** up person.

Is her personal philosophy some kind of Ayn Rand Objectivism?

More like liberal free love expression.

What kind of jack ass injects politics into something like this?

What the hell is wrong with you?

It's a very strange story. The short gist is that she's a long-time advocate for people with disabilities, including arguing that people with conditions like cerebral palsy are much more capable of making their own decisions than most people think. She told his family that he and she were in love, and has said consistently that everything they did was consensual. The family disagreed, and so did the prosecutor and, ultimately, the jury. (There's a whole separate controversy about the assisted communication techniques she used and whether they really reflect what the patient is thinking or what the person doing the assisting is thinking, and it plays into this, too.)

Even if she's right about his mental capacity, though, it seems to me that there are significant ethics issues involved when she's supposed to be interpreting what he says.

Long but excellent read for anyone interested in the details of the case:

It seems like she herself has her own mental issues. She is married with two kids and then having an affair with someone that has the mental capacity of a toddler.

That was a really good article.

there is a special place in hell for people like this. Hopefully she gets an advanced glance at it in prison.

I have two degrees in Special Education. Although there are many levels of a number of recognized disabilities, this is simply not where you go under any circumstances.
As already mentioned, this woman has a serious problem of her own.

I was going for a philosophy reference, nothing political.

Objectivism isn't political. It's a philosophy that suggests that we decide on an Individual level what is morally acceptable.
