Depending on the level of the vulnerable adult and the crime committed, most likely both of them.

If the vulnerable adult knows the difference between right and wrong, they can be charged withthe offense. Their psychological condition may be something that allows an attorney to negotiate for a reduced charge or sentence. A person may be charged with aidinbg and abetting an offense if they acted in a way to substantially support the offense.
