Describes a group intervention for men with an intellectual disability who have sexually offended or abuse others. The group was in response to referrals to psychology department. The majority of these individuals had not subject to legal proceedings. Attitudes consistent with offending reduced after participation for most participants, however, these tended to revert to pre-group levels over time. Knowledge tended to increase after the group, however, problems with the questionnaire used made interpretation of the results difficult. No further incidents of sexual abuse have been recorded by any of the five group members who completed the group.
