Give me a freaking break!
PAULDING COUNTY, Ga. -- A Paulding County man accused of sexual battery said he was walking in his sleep when the incident happened. And his lawyer said you dont have intent to commit a crime if youre asleep.
Scott Axleburg is on trial in the Paulding County Courthouse for aggravated sexual battery. The defense has said that you cannot be guilty if you dont know what youre doing.
"And when I woke up, Scott Axelburg had his hands down my pants," said the babysitter.
A then 16-year-old girl described a night three years ago when she was babysitting overnight so the defendant and his family could get an early start to his sons baseball tournament and she would be there with his toddlers.
As she slept on the couch, she said Axelburg woke her up with his hand in her pants. She said that she jumped.
"He got up off his knees and he buttoned both buttons on his shorts and zipped up his pants and walked into his bedroom," said the girl.
When a detective questioned Axelburg on videotape, he denied anything happened at first.
"I didnt do that. I didnt do anything," said Axelburg.
He also said he had sleepwalked on occasion. His attorney talked about a time at a motel. (more at link)
