TORONTO (AFP) - A Toronto area man was acquitted this week of sexual assault after a judge ruled he was asleep during the attack, a Canadian newspaper reported.

The acquitted 33-year-old landscaper had met a woman at a party in July. Both had been drinking and fell asleep on a couch.
The woman woke up to find the landscaper having sex with her and pushed him off. He immediately woke up, but told the court he only suspected they had had sex after going to the bathroom and finding he was still wearing a condom.
A sleep expert testified at his trial that the man suffered from sexomnia, a sort of sleep walking that includes sexual acts, likely brought on by alcohol, sleep deprivation and genetics.
The man had previously had "sleep sex" with four girlfriends, the court heard.
The judgment outraged women's groups, according to the Toronto Sun report.
"This is infuriating. It's another case of the courts not taking a woman seriously, adding yet another item to the list of excuses which men use for sexual assault," Suzanne Jay of the Canadian Association of Sexual Assault Centres told the newspaper.
-ray, word
