Reports of the results of the second part of the largest UK incidence survey to date of the sexual abuse of adults with learning disabilities. The results confirm the pattern of abuse which emerged from the earlier study, i.e. that both women and men are at risk, that perpetrators are predominantly men and usually known rather than strangers. One important difference was a significant increase in the proportion of cases, abuse of men with learning disabilities reported.
