Back to EpisodesSexsomnia Expert Battle in Sexual Assault Trial
Description
In a twist of events, a man accused of sexual assault is leveraging the defense of sexsomnia, a sleep disorder he claims caused his alleged actions. His lawyer is pushing for a sleep disorder expert, Doctor Colin Shapiro, to testify. Shapiro, who coined the term sexsomnia, has a rich background in sleep studies. The defense argues prior sleep-related sexual activity between the accused and the complainant should be admissible evidence. The Crown, however, is questioning Shapiros expertise and plans to call their own sleep expert. This expert battle could significantly impact the upcoming trial set for June.
