Man Cleared Of Assault Because of 'Sexsomnia'
The Canadian province of Ontario plans to review a court decision that cleared a man of sexual assault charges after a judge ruled he was asleep during the attack — a disorder known as 'sexsomnia'.
Jan Luedecke, 33, was cleared of sexual assault charges on Tuesday because he said he was asleep during the attack. A sleep expert testified that Luedecke suffers from a disorder that causes sexsomnia -- involuntary sexual behaviour during sleep -- which he had apparently experienced before.
The court heard that Luedecke and the female victim met at a party. She testified she fell asleep and woke up to find Luedecke having sex with her. She pushed him away and called the police.
Luedecke confessed to police after he discovered he was still wearing a condom and realised he had sex.
The woman left the courtroom in tears when the verdict was read, and said she would take the case to the highest court possible. The Attorney General's Office which oversees the province's prosecutions, said on Thursday it needs to research its options for an appeal because of the strange circumstances of the case.
The judgement has outraged local women's groups. "This is infuriating. It’s another case of the courts not taking a woman seriously, adding yet another list to the list of excuses which men use for sexual assault", said Suzanne Jay, spokesperson for one such group dealing with sexual assault.

What I want to know is how heavy of a sleeper you have to be to wake up and find someone already having sex with you
I mean.. it's gotta take some work to maneuver that thing into a hole of someone unwilling, let alone asleep - I'd damn sure wake up.

Sexsomnia is a very real problem, I have it. However, this is a sham. When you have sexsomnia you are not coherent enough to put on a condom. It basically is purely animal sex, Tiffany quit sleeping in panties because I tear them off when it happens. She also claims it is absolutely mindblowing sex. It usually comes from sleep deprivation, alcohol or insanity.

My wife tells me all the time that I'm tweaking her breasts or grinding on her, or rubing her naughty parts, etc. while we are sleeping, all the while I have no knowledge of this.
She even said one time I rolled her over and started making out, or trying to, and again I don't remember a thing.
The funny part is normally if a pin drops on the carpet it wakes me up /shrug
I'll have to look into this sexsomina thing. O and before I get flammed, I'm not sex deprived or any of that.

Did you put on a condom first like the guy in the article did?

I too have been guilty of this. She even forgave me when I was all over her while I was asleep and whispered in her ear "what is your name?"
