title: Give people with dementia a voice in discussions about sex.
abstract: In 2015, a 78-year-old man in the US was charged with third-degree felony sexual abuse for having sex with his wife who was living in a care home. One of the factors behind the prosecution was that his wife's daughter felt her mother was unable to give consent for sexual activity.
