Rape accused 'had sex with wrong woman'
From:  Daily Telegraph

April 21, 2006

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 Mr Chappell later got up to use the bathroom.
But Mr Chappell claims he mistakenly returned to the wrong bedroom, where the editor's 23-year-old flatmate was asleep.

He got into bed with the flatmate and initiated sex, allegedly believing she was the other woman.

The flatmate 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 Mr Chappell in her bed and realised her boyfriend was still asleep on the couch.

Mr Chappell intends to plead not guilty to one count of sexual intercourse without consent.

"The defence case is he made a mistake," barrister Wayne Flynn told the Downing Centre Court Local yesterday. "He went into the wrong room and had sex with the wrong person.

"He thought he was having sex with the person he went home with.
"The [alleged victim] says she believed she was having sex with her boyfriend. She made a mistake as to who she was having sex with and so did the defendant."

In a statement to police on the morning of the incident on October 1, the alleged victim said she had gone to bed about 2am, leaving her drunk boyfriend asleep on the lounge.

"The next thing I remember was waking up to someone having sex with me," she said. "I assumed straight away that it was [my boyfriend] because I wouldn't even consider that it would be anyone else."

She also said: "When the light is out, it is black in our bedroom, you can't see anything."

To her dismay, she later turned on the light and realised it was Mr Chappell, not her boyfriend, in the bed.

"I was totally gutted that it was him and not [my boyfriend]," she said. "I went straight into [my flatmate's] bedroom hysterical."

The screaming woman pushed Mr Chappell out the front door shortly before her boyfriend woke up and was told what happened.

"[He] was so beside himself and enraged that he said he was going out to find [Mr Chappell] and kill him," she said.

In her statement to police, the magazine editor said Mr 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 flatmate] running into my room quite hysterical."

Magistrate Margaret Quinn committed Mr Chappell to stand trial but said it "may well be a difficult case for the prosecution" to prove.

A date for Mr Chappell's trial will be set next week.

Wow, that sucks.

"Well," says the camel, I think that's a strange question from somebody whose Wiener is on his face."
Ba-da-da ching...

Whoa Nelly, It was a sad day when your namesake announced his re-retirement! Classy man. College FB will be worse for it!

Sounds like something that could easily happen in Chaska.  Probably in public though.

[DuffMan]

At least in Chaska someone would come and tell you to stop.

Banker's have to have something to do!

Sorry, I can't share the sadness.  I could't be happier to see him go - finally.   Aside from his bias concerning a small Indiana school, he had the poor grace to announce his retirement, spend an entire year picking up retirement gifts at each stadium to which he traveled to call a game, and then not retire.

Tmerton, we will agree to disagree then! We can have much deeper discussions over a beverage this fall prior to watching the J's monkey stomp their opponent du jour!

[ritz72]

Hey all....

Any one in the central MN area tonight, there is an alumni gathering at Bro. Willy's tonight from 5-??.  Mrs. Ritz is "dragging" me to it (to be her DD I think)....

I just dug out the brew kit, and am going to steralize the equipment tomorrow! (that sounds REALLY bad)

Hopefully see some of you tonight!

That I can agree to!

[Willy Wonka]

A party at Willy's place?? I woke up today at 2 pm and then had to lay back down for a nap from 4-5:30...hopefully nobody showed up and was disappointed when I didn't answer my door

Rape accused 'had sex with wrong woman'

DAMMIT!   I never thought of that!    coulda easily gotten a date with various hotties' ugly roomies....

And here I thought things were so special in the criminal justice system in Carver County. The following is from a motion that was filed in the Montana Fourth Judicial District Court, Mineral County on March 27 of this year. The document is entitled MOTION FOR FIST FIGHT.

COMES NOW counsel for Defendant, through his and respectfully requests this Court to Order a fist fight between Shaun Donovan and John Conner on one side and Kirk Krutilla and Bill Buzzell on the other side.

ARGUMENT

Shaun Donavan and John Conner have consistently maintained that it was perfectly right, legal and moral for the stronger Matt Palagl to beat up Demetrius Joslin. They have maintained that Joslin did not have to worry because Matt's drunk and stoned friends would jump in and protect Joslin.

The defense team disagrees but would love to give Donovan and Conner a chance to stand up for the principle they stand up for, i.e. the brutal humiliation and beating up of weaker human beings is the most cherished principle in life. Therefore; the defense moves that before the hearing April 17, 2006 that the state be given a chance on what they cherish in a resolution of dispute and that there be a fist fight with one side being Mr. Conner and Mr. Donovan and the other side being Kirk Krutilla and Bill Buzzell. For further insurances, that Conner and Donovan don't get beat up too bad, a group of defense attorney's drunk and stoned friends will be there to assure Conner's and Donovan's safety.

Signed, Kirk Krutilla, attorney at law

Finsleft, you might try this approach sometime in Stearns County.
