Original Note:
Misleading. One man is not accused of “raping” a disabled man. He is charged for having sex with a disabled man. The law criminalizes gay sex with disabled people, and their consent cannot be used as a defence, per the summary of the law here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Homosexuality_Act,_2023#Summary Original CNN article: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/29/africa/ugandans-charged-aggravated-homosexuality-intl/index.html
