An actor accused of raping a teenage girl yesterday blamed it on ‘sexsomnia’, a condition which he claims causes him to have sex in his sleep. Simon Morris, who appeared in a film with Michael Caine and in the TV soap Hollyoaks, is alleged to have attacked the 15-year-old after she drank cocktails at a birthday party.
But the 42-year-old told a jury he had no recollection of the alleged rape because he was sleepwalking at the time.
