A man raped a woman while she was sleeping then claimed never to have had any sexual contact with her.
Daniel McDonough attacked his victim, who was then aged 20, in the early hours of the morning, after a night out in 2020. The then 38-year-old had been drinking with her and others in a pub in Liverpool and offered to share a taxi home with her.
McDonough invited her into his home for a drink and they chatted, until the woman said she was tired and went to bed. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said by that stage there had been no physical contact between the two at all.
