BBC Three's video: Sexsomnia: How A Rare Sleep Disorder Jeopardised My Rape Case

When unexpected sleepwalking claims turn Jade’s rape case on its head, she fights back. Setting out to investigate sexsomnia, a rare sleep disorder in which people engage in sexual activity in their sleep, she uncovers its use as a legal defence. Jade’s case is thought to be the first in the UK in which a woman who reported rape was told she may have had an attack of sexsomnia. Filmed over three years, this is the remarkable story of one woman's battle for justice. This programme covers issues of a distressing nature from the start.
