An actor who claimed he was suffering from the sleep disorder sexsomnia when he raped a 15-year-old girl after getting her drunk has been jailed for eight years.



Simon Morris, 42, who has appeared in the TV series Hollyoaks, had claimed to be fast asleep and said he could not remember the attack at a house party.



The judge at Cardiff Crown Court told Morris, from south London, he had told an endless number of glib lies.



Morris was found guilty in December.



The trial of the Newport-born actor heard he helped his victim pour champagne before sneaking into her room at 6am and raping her.



Morris denied it was rape, pretending he had no memory of sex because he was asleep.
