The charge is that she was asleep, not "half-asleep", and woke up when he was penetrating her.
"She fell asleep, but was woken up by his penetration of her. She immediately asked if he was wearing anything. He answered to the effect that he was not. She felt it was too late and, as he was already inside her, she let him continue"

- belorn 12y agoThat must have been lost in translation, because the quoted part which got "leaked" to newspapers had the word "half-asleep" in them. The alternative would be that the news papers edited the direct quotes of the woman. I do however find that unlikely. If I have to speculate, I would think that the prosecutor makes no distinction between half-asleep and asleep. It easier just to leave that part to the courts.
- rmc 12y agoThat quote is from the UK high Court judgement. This isn't a journalist with an axe to grind, but a UK high court judge.
- belorn 12y agoI think its high likely that the UK high court judgment is based on the accusations made by the prosecutor, which, like I said previous, might have simply made no distinction between half-asleep and asleep. The distinction is less important when deciding arrest warrant, but still relevant when discussing the charges.

Alternative, you could locate the leaked document and read the original document itself.
