Mum Wakes Up Screaming To Find 14-Year-Old Son Raping Her

A mum who thought she was having a nightmare woke up screaming in the middle of the night to find her 14-year-old son raping her, a court heard. The son who had formed the habit of climbing into bed with his mum for some years now however denied a charge of rape.

The court was told he is on medication for ADHD, and had been having behavioural problems in recent weeks.

Francis McEntee, prosecuting, told the court: “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. 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

The boy told the court that his bed was uncomfortable, there was damage to the bottom sheet, so he had gone in and lain in bed with his mother. He acknowledged that his mother was naked except for wearing a brief underwear.  She laid on her side and he was lying with his arm around her.

In her police interview – which was taped and played in court, the woman said she was “trembling from the inside” after the alleged attack.

Speaking of what happened, the woman told police: “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. 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 mother told investigators that her son had had issues for a long time.

She described her last 18 months with him as being an “absolute nightmare”.

She told police: “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 out ground him and instil some punishment for the way he has been. I am concerned for my son, more concerned about what would happen to him.”

The trial is still ongoing.
