Firstclass newsline learnt that the woman initially thought it was a
nightmare, but suddenly grasped the "enormity of the situation" as she
realised her 14-year-old son was raping her.
A UK court heard that the boy is on medication and had had been having
behavioural problems in the weeks before the attack.
"The allegation in this case is that the defendant raped his mother
while she was asleep. The factual basis of this case is that he was in
his mother's bed," said prosecutor Francis McEntee.
"The issue is not any assertion of consent, or belief of consent. It
is the prosecution's assertion there was penetration and the
defendant's denial of that allegation.
"The defendant's account is that his bed was uncomfortable, there was
damage to the bottom sheet, so he had gone in and lain in bed with his
mother", Mr McEntee continued.
He told the jury: "You will hear his acknowledgement that his mother
was naked, bar the brief underwear and you will hear his admission
that she lay on her side and he was lying with his arm around her.
"The prosecution would invite you to say he was hoping to seek to try
and provide an innocent explanation for his presence in the bed.
Whether driven by drink or some other issue, perhaps because he had
had drink, he climbed into bed with his mother".
A police interview with the mother was played in court while the boy,
who cannot be named for legal reasons, chose to leave the courtroom
while the interview was played.
"I just know when I opened my eyes he was there. I don't even know
what I said. He scuttled out of the room and didn't say anything,"
said the traumatized mother.
"I just sat there holding my covers, screaming and thinking 'what the
hell's just gone on?'
"All sorts was going through my head. Is he just sleepwalking?
"Does he know what he is doing? Is he aware? Now I am actually
thinking what state is he in? Does he know what he has done?"
The woman told officers that her son had issued for quite some time
and that the previous 18 months had been an "absolute nightmare".
"He's really aggressive towards me, throws things and hits me with
things like slippers and cushions. Only two days ago I got cut. This
is me trying to ground him and instil some punishment for the way he
has been," she said.
"I am concerned for my son, more concerned about what would happen to
him," she said at the end of the interview.
