A Melbourne man who raped his partner's identical twin sister has been
jailed – after claiming the assault occurred because he mistook her for
her sibling.
The 24-year-old was sentenced to four years imprisonment after being convicted of rape and indecent assault, the Herald Sun reports.
He had told police that his victim was a liar and had made unwanted advances towards him – but the court heard that he had told her that he had always fantasised about sex with her.
The woman had been staying with her sister and her partner after ending a relationship.
She was sleeping in the spare bedroom when the man entered to talk to her, but later pulled down her clothing and raped her, according to the Herald Sun.
