A man accused of indecently assaulting his daughter has been acquitted because he has sexsomnia and was asleep and oblivious when the acts occurred.
The man told the NSW District Court he was stunned when police arrested him in November 2019 and he learned what his nine-year-old daughter had accused him of doing.
He didn t doubt she was telling the court the truth but he had no memory of touching her vagina and breasts while sleeping next to her on two occasions in 2019, he said at his April trial.
He was found not guilty after experts gave evidence to say he had a condition called sexsomnia .
