Ex-prosecutor rapes his own son - his excuse: sleepwalking. The Lübeck regional court doesn't believe him, but still remains on probation.
In principle, it is entirely possible that people do things while sleepwalking that they would not do when awake, says Thomas Pollmächer, director of the sleep medicine center at the Ingolstadt Clinic. A man from Indersdorf received a prison sentence of three years and ten months for abusing his son. The man turned himself in after his wife confronted him with the allegations.
