Man accused of raping sleepwalking student
An American student was raped while she was sleepwalking along a road near her Ohio home, a court heard.
The 23-year-old University of Cincinnati student woke up during the attack and fought back but could not get away, said Hamilton County prosecutor Seth Tieger.
A homeless man was indicted yesterday on rape charges.
Dexter Ford, aged 52, was also charged with felonious assault because he knew he was HIV-positive, Mr Tieger told The Cincinnati Enquirer.
Police said Ford told them that he is HIV positive, and Hamilton County Municipal Judge Fanon Rucker ordered Ford to be tested for venereal diseases.
It was not clear if the woman has been tested.
Ford was indicted by a grand jury on two charges of rape, attempted rape, kidnapping and felonious assault.
He faces as many as 46 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
