Kathy told us of the "abuse" at Cornerstone around the beginning of
June:-

" I was asked if I would go to bed with him by a particular client.
This particular client then asked me if I would love him."

Kathy then sensibly told the Cornerstone staff what he had said
("within minutes or seconds") and received many apologies in the
following days. It should also  be borne in mind that the
"perpetrators" disabilities meant that "he doesn't know everything
what he is saying".

It seems that Kathy did exactly the right thing, and the staff acted
appropriately.

I do have a vague recollection of an unfortunate incident at her
Summer Camp 3 or 4 years ago, where again I thought Kathy had done
the right thing.

Putting things in perspective.
