In a recent court case in the Northern Territory of Australia, Leonard Andrew Spencer was found not guilty of gross indecency and having sex without consent. His defense? Sex-sleep or sexsomnia.
A woman who was house-sitting for Mr. Spencer awoke to find Mr. Spencer in her bed having sex with her. He was arrested, but claimed no memory of his nighttime behavior. Sleep-sex is a form of somnambulism (sleepwalking) and memory loss is a common trait of somnambulism.
