The Disability Rights Center in Concord, New Hampshire, filed a legal brief supporting the appeal of Joel Frost, who was convicted of raping a mentally retarded woman. At his trial, Frost tried to prove that the woman was capable of giving consent to sex, but state law prohibits that, and the Center supported Frost in his claim that the law discriminates against the mentally retarded by assuming they all lack the ability to decide whether to have sex.
