The jurors in the trial of a man accused of raping his friend in Dublin have been told all the indicators are there to prove he suffers from sexsomnia.
His barrister also told them his non-memory of what happened when they shared a bed in September 2008 is a “classic symptom” of the condition.
The alleged victim claims her friend raped with her while she slept beside him at an apartment in Dublin following a night out in September 2008.
The accused, whoÂ’ is 29 and denies the charge, says he just has a vague semi-awake memory of her asking if he was wearing a condom.
