A TRAUMATISED victim of a rapist and child abuser has spoken out after he claimed he suffered from "sexsomnia" - a condition which made him unaware of what he was doing.
Vile lawyer Andrew Lingard is facing years in jail after being convicted last week of sexually abusing two schoolgirls and raping a woman.
He told the High Court in Livingston the historic sex offences were committed while he was suffering from the rare "sleep sex" disorder.
Now one of his victims has hit out at the defence and claimed it was only an excuse - used in other high-profile rape cases.
The victim, who we are not naming, said: "When the prosecution said last year that he was mentioning sexsomnia it was around the same time a man in Fife was acquitted of rape using the same defence.
"I think it was a pathetic excuse from a pathetic excuse of a man. I expected nothing less from him."
