Mark Anthony Richardson Jr. is a very creative pervert.  He has been accused of pretending to have autism and hiring young women on Craig's List to change his diapers:

The woman told police her 18-year-old daughter had placed the online ad. She said a man — using the name “David” — called about watching his autistic son, “Alex.” Police reported the caller described the son as 19 and said he still wears diapers, drinks formula from a bottle and uses a pacifier.

Father of Adam Koumoutseas: Real Crime is Lack of Services

Adam Koumoutseas is accused of brutally attacking his mother.  But his father says the real crime was not his son's:

“The crime is the lack of services,” said John Koumoutseas of Southboro, a sentiment echoed across the country by parents plagued with the near-impossible challenges of caring for older — and sometimes aggressive — autistic children. “If you took the time to know what I’ve been through in the past 20 years, you’d say my story can’t be true.”
John Koumoutseas, 60, has been caring for Adam since birth and assumed custody after he and his wife divorced. He acknowledged that Adam has been violent in the past, both to him and his ex-wife, and said he was in the process of trying to place Adam in a residential facility. Adam has attended 10 schools — he was kicked out of two, and his father removed him from three that failed to provide adequate services. A small-business owner, the elder Koumoutseas said he was once affluent but now faces possible foreclosure because of the expense of keeping his son at home.

“My life has gone to shambles, slowly but surely,” he said. Asked if he loves his son, he said softly, “I love my son too much.”

Adam Koumoutseas, a 23-year-old man with autism,  has been arrested for attacking his mother:

Mr. Koumoutseas is accused of repeatedly head-butting his mother, then banging her head against an asphalt driveway at 128 Nourse St. on Saturday afternoon.

Police arrived at the address to find the 60-year-old mother, Pamela Koumoutseas of Marlboro, lying on her back, her face covered in blood. She was semiconscious, according to a statement of facts by Sgt. Jonathan Kalagher.

The sergeant said he tried to question Adam Koumoutseas at the scene, but in response he received only “unintelligible sounds.”

Prosecutor Richard Latham concluded his case against the seven young people accused of having killed Shaun Rossington, a young man with Aspergers:

The body of the Asperger's sufferer was found on grassland off Searby Road, Lincoln, in the early hours of June 3. He had suffered more than 40 injuries.

Mr Latham said: "These seven were all witnesses to that beating and we say the seven were all involved, either directly or indirectly in what occurred.

"They left him in the dark without his phone. They didn't trouble summoning assistance or finding out how he was when they finished with him."
