A man who claimed he was sleepwalking when he had sex with a woman while she slept next to her husband has been found guilty of rape.
Paul Anthony Blattman, 42, of Parafield Gardens told the District Court in Adelaide he had no memory of having sex with the woman he met earlier that day.
The jury heard Blattman had been drinking and fell asleep in his car, waking next morning with no recollection of events.
The prosecutor argued the sleepwalking defence was “inherently unlikely” and “almost scientifically impossible”.
The jury unanimously found Blattman guilty. [ABC News]
