'Claims I had sexsomnia destroyed my rape case'

Available for over a year

Jade McCrossen-Nethercott's rape case was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) because of claims she had an episode of a rare sleep condition called "sexsomnia". As a result, the CPS no longer believed they could secure a conviction. But Jade challenged the decision and spent months reinvestigating. The CPS now admit they were wrong not to take it to trial and have apologised unreservedly to her. You can watch the documentary "Sexsomnia: Case Closed?" on the BBC iPlayer
