Sexsomnia Defense Under Fire

A woman testified she fought desperately to stop her ex-boyfriend during a forced sexual encounter lasting eight minutes, despite repeatedly saying no. He later claimed he was having an out-of-body experience and thought he was dreaming — but she insists his words were clear and coherent. Now, the defense is pushing a “sexsomnia” defense, arguing involuntary sleep-related sex, though their planned expert is unavailable. The judge has granted them more time to find a qualified sleep specialist. This case exposes the chilling complexities of consent and sleep disorders in court.
