In 2012, when Adam Nesteikis was 25 years old, his friend told him to pull down his pants in front of a young girl. Adam did exactly that.
Adam is intellectually disabled, which means he didn't realize he had done something wrong. He also didn't understand what it meant when, after a trial, he was placed on the sex offense registry. He just knew that for some reason, he lost the job he loved wiping tables. He could no longer participate in the Special Olympics. And he couldn't scuba dive—his very favorite activity—because the club practiced in a high school pool and he was no longer allowed to be near young people.
