The accused was charged with multiple counts of sexual assault against his common-law partner and four other women, as well as assault and mischief.
The accused raised the defence of non-insane automatism (sexsomnia), arguing he was in a parasomnic state during the incidents.
The court rejected the sexsomnia defence, finding the accused's actions were voluntary, goal-directed, and often influenced by alcohol intoxication rather than a sleep disorder.
The accused was found guilty of the sexual assaults but acquitted of the assault and mischief charges.
