A Man has been acquitted of raping a woman - because she had at least 14 personalities
In a bizarre case, a jury was told that the 40-year-old man was accused of sexually assaulting the woman 11 times in her home in 2004 while some of her alter egos looked on and at times intervened.
During the District Court trial that finished last Tuesday, the court was told three of the 33-year-old woman's personalities were present at one of the alleged incidents.
The complainant said two identities had been at other incidents.
Top WA criminal lawyer Judith Fordham, who watched the case, said it was the strangest she had seen.
"Although there have been many cases in our courts where the accused has a mental illness, and some where victims or alleged victims suffer from mental illness, in 20 years as a lawyer I have never seen anything quite like this," she said.
The man, who suffers from anxiety and depression, helped the complainant, who has multiple personality disorder and epilepsy, move into a flat in 2004.
But she claimed that he then sexually assaulted her during three subsequent days.

She means No.
As a friend of mine used to say "never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself."
If she threatens to commit suicide, is it considered a hostage situation?
I wonder if she had multiple orgasms.
She lost my vote claiming they had sex 11 times in 3 days. Of course that begs the question, what did they do the other 4 days of their week long relationship?
Even using that rule, I still have a lot of leeway. Is that a good or bad thing? :)
In this case I think it would depend on which personality you slept with. :)
