The issue of men with learning disabilities who offend sexually has received scant attention but is important for many practitioners in group care settings. This article argues that there is no absolute prescription for working with sexual abusers or offenders, but a recognition that some men with learning disabilities do engage in sexually abusive behaviour is the first step in establishing appropriate responses.
