Sleepwalking man cleared of sexually assaulting woman
A man with a history of sleepwalking has been found not guilty by reason of insanity of sexually assaulting his friend's girlfriend.
York Crown Court heard Kelly had been to a nightclub with his friend and the woman before they returned to a house in North Yorkshire in a taxi on the morning of 17 April. The court heard he had suffered from parasomnia since childhood and experts said he was"possibly" or"likely to be" suffering from the sleep disorder at the time of the alleged assault but they could not say for certain.
