Sexsomnia
In reply to the Hon. C. BONAROS ().6 February 2025).
The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State): I have been advised:
My office is currently considering the broader implications of the interstate decisions where sexsomnia has been raised as a defence and potential opportunities for legislative reform in South Australia.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has advised that sexsomnia is very rarely raised as a defence to the offence of rape or sexual assault and was unable to recall any recent occasions of it being raised in the South Australian jurisdiction.
