A former soldier accused of rape has been cleared after a court heard he was suffering from a sleep disorder, reports BBC.
Peter Atilla, 46, from Northampton, said he had a sleep condition called sexsomnia.
Mr Atilla was accused of having sex with a woman while she slept after she invited him in bed “for a cuddle”.
Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard he had returned from a tour of Afghanistan the day before, and may have been in “action mode” when he went to sleep.
