Rape crisis counselors and women's advocates are outraged Thursday after a man in Toronto, Canada was found not guilty of raping a woman because he was sleepwalking at the time, according to a Local 6 News report.
Canadian lawyers said Jan Luedecke, 33, suffers from a rare condition called sexomnia. The genetic disorder combines sleepwalking with sexual acts and is often brought on by alcohol, according to the report.
The two had met at a party in 2003 and she woke up on the couch to find Luedecke on top of her.
"He was not normal," the victim told a TV station. "During the entire altercation, when someone touches you, you can feel their body heat. He had no body heat. His arms were very limp
He was charged with sexual assault after the attack. However, at a trial, sleep experts testified that Luedecke suffered from sexomnia.
A judge then ruled Wednesday that the landscaper was essentially sleepwalking during sex and was not guilty of the rape.
The woman even said Luedecke seemed "out of it" during the incident, Local 6 News reported.
"He was not normal," she said. "During the entire altercation, when someone touches you, you can feel their body heat. He had no body heat. His arms were very limp."
Four other women testified the Luedecke had previously had "sleep sex" with them as well, according to the report.
