British man with Down syndrome turns down offers to take his virginity

From The Telegraph in the UK:

A man with Down's syndrome whose mother launched a campaign to find a woman to take his virginity has decided to remain celibate.

Otto Baxter, 21, made headlines around the world when his mother Lucy, 50, said she was even willing to hire a prostitute to fulfil his wish. (Both are pictured.)

But despite numerous offers – including a chance to sleep with Australian sex worker and campaigner Rachel Wotton – he has told his mum he wants to wait for Miss Right.

When a mother is right to go public Mum Lucy said: "Since Otto was in the news he has literally been flooded with offers from women but even though he has been tempted he has never gone through with it.

"He says to me that he wants to wait for the right girl which I think is fantastic. He has come to a mature decision and I am very proud of him for that.

"Someone claiming to be from Zoo magazine also called up and said they would be willing to put up the money for Otto to lose his virginity. Otto declined."

Mum Lucy, who adopted Otto from birth, said he almost popped his cherry when Rachel Wotton, 32, a prostitute who specialises in providing sex for disabled people, visited their home in Abingdon, Oxon, in May.

She said: "A production company contacted us and said they wanted to talk to us with Rachel about the sex industry and people with disabilities.

"Otto was besotted with Rachel, she was very beautiful and dynamic and he could have easily made arrangements with her to have sex, but he didn't.

"He decided that if he did get a girlfriend and they had done something similar he wouldn't like that at all, so he didn't." Otto will be appearing in Love, Lust and Las Vegas at 9pm on BBC Three on July 21.
