Luke Fox has been jailed for 10 years

A student who blamed 'sexsomnia' for sexually assaulting two fellow students has been given a ten-year prison sentence

She testified that she "froze through fear" as Fox raped her while she lay on a bed, only managing to flee once he had fallen asleep. Less than a year later, the second victim woke to discover the defendant "spooning" her with his hands inside her underwear. " decided that it was best not to create a scene, in the hope that would be an end to this unwanted contact, and she fell back asleep. But that was not the end of the matter, as describes being woken having been penetrated and in her words 'waking up to him raping me'."

Mr Fitch-Holland said both victims spoke to each other and were initially prepared to accept Fox's explanation of the condition he claimed to suffer from. He said: "But some time later, both women became aware of another complaint against the defendant, when another female student claimed that the defendant was coercing her with intimate photographs taken without her consent.

In an impact statement, the rape victim told how she now suffers "trust issues" as a result of what happened to her. She said: "I panic when people get too close to me when I go out."
