Almost impossible. Only a crazy person would do that. Can you
imagine how complicated it must be to rape someone while riding a
bicycle?

Next MAGA-hats will be defending the "crazy people's" right to

PS Aproximately 1-1.5% of any population is psychotic(usually
schizophrenic). They have NO IDEA they're crazy. Only an efficient
public health system can identify and ensure they get adequate free
treatment. And of course, keep them away from guns.

 It used to be that people like that got put away in facilities. Then,
in 1963, the jackasses in the government decided that was wrong, and
turned them all loose. Like you say, many emotionally disturbed people
have no idea they are emotionally disturbed and are not going to
voluntarily submit to treatment.

That's a true accounting so far as it goes.
But the public reaction to several well publicized instances of institutional abuse of mentally ill spurred politicians to act, which was widely supported at the time.  Those were horrible, and real,  but not representative.
The unintended consequences now punish the citizenry generally more than the inmates before 1963.
As several large counties' sheriffs have noted about their jails, they are running the largest mental illness facilities in their area.
