Man mistakenly has sex with roommate?
A man who claims he mistakenly had sex with "the wrong woman" after entering a dark bedroom at the home of a Sydney magazine editor was yesterday committed to stand trial for rape.
Paul John Chappell, 31, was invited back to the editor's Bondi flat after they met during a night out. The pair went to bed and Chappell later got up to use the bathroom. But Chappell claims he mistakenly returned to the wrong bedroom, where the editor's 23-year-old roommate was asleep. He got into bed with the roommate and initiated sex, allegedly believing she was the other woman.
The roommate participated because she thought it was her own boyfriend who had come to bed after falling asleep in the loungeroom.
When she turned on the light, the "hysterical" woman saw Chappell in her bed and realised her boyfriend was still asleep on the couch.
Chappell intends to plead not guilty to one count of sexual intercourse without consent.
In her statement to police, the magazine editor said Chappell was "pretty drunk" when they arrived home and they went to her bed but she refused to have sex. "He got up and went to the toilet," she said.
"After what seemed like five minutes I assumed he had passed out on the lounge or something, so I rolled over and went to sleep. The next thing I remember was (my roommate) running into my room quite hysterical."
Magistrate Margaret Quinn committed Chappell to stand trial but said it "may well be a difficult case for the prosecution" to prove. A date for Chappell's trial will be set next week.
