It would appear that there is a law that overrides a persons civil liberties.
/// But he agreed that the man, known only as Alan, should not be allowed to have sex with anyone on the grounds that he did not have the mental capacity to understand the health risks associated with his actions.///
But since he believes that “sex could give you spots or measles”, why should he want to have sex?

To answer your question, for the same reason that lots of other people want to have sex - it's fun and pleasurable.
However he does not have the mental capacity to understand the risks, is in, at the very least, a supported living arrangement, and from what the council says in the report, behaves inappropriately. The judgement seems pretty sensible to me.

AOG, I said he is, at the very least, in a supported living arrangement. Given what else was in the DT report, my guess, and it is just a guess, is that for him it means a home with other people where there are carers on hand all the time.
It is likely that he will have his own room or bedsit, and while nobody will plant anything in his bed or his room to spy on him 24/7, there are various devices available which allow staff at such places to monitor the residents for their own safety and comfort. I'm talking about things which can, for example, monitor bed wetting, monitor whether someone is in their bed (in case they have fallen out) or which can let staff know when the room door has been opened (in case someone goes wandering in the night, or in case someone who shouldn't goes into a room.
Now, that may sound rather Big Brother-ish but it isn't. The people concerned are vulnerable adults. They are not disabled enough to require 24/7 care, but they are not independent enough to live with minimal supervision in the community, so it all comes down to compromises ... using the tools which are available to ensure comfort and safety while still preserving a degree of privacy and independence.

desparately sad this. Courts have to deal with cases like this from time to time and it's a minefield. To put in into perspective, his iq would appear (from internet sources granted) to be 12 points lower than an alsation so he possibly needs guidance.
Not sure why his sexuality would need to be mentioned mind.
