Ex-Boyfriend Claims Sleep Sex in Rape Trial

In a jaw-dropping Calgary courtroom drama, a woman testifies against her ex-boyfriend, accusing him of rape — only for him to claim he was in an out-of-body experience and “sleeping” afterward. The defense leans into the controversial diagnosis of sexsomnia, while the victim insists he pinned her down, assaulted her, and only stopped when finished — then claimed he was asleep. A key twist? She admits she didn’t use air quotes the first time she said he “woke up,” but insists she did on subsequent statements — a detail the prosecution highlights in video clips, sparking debate over intent and truth. Experts in sleep disorders are now being called in as the case is put on hold until fall, with a new date set for next month. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
