Barrister's rapist son demands new trial claiming attack was 'misunderstanding'
George Fay's legal team claim his intoxicated victim mistook him for her boyfriend when she awoke in his Manhattan apartment. They have argued a key witness should have been allowed to give evidence
The rapist son of a leading British barrister has demanded a new trial claiming his attack was “a mutual misunderstanding”.
Lawyers for George Fay, 26, the eldest son of Michael Fay, argue that a key expert witness was wrongly prevented from testifying in support of him.
During the trial in February , jurors were told Fay attacked after a night of drinking.
The victim said she had awoken in Fay’s Manhattan apartment after a night of sex with her boyfriend Charles Slye to find George attacking her.
His team say the “intoxicated” victim mistook him for Slye which is why they had sex.
They claim that had sleep expert Dr Michael Thorpe been allowed to appear at the trial he would have supported Fay’s “innocence” by demonstrating that “the complainant could believe herself to be asleep while appearing to another to be awake”.

Since March 31, Queenstown has housed Michael Peter Fay, an American teenager who has arguably become Singapore's most famous -- or notorious -- prison inmate. After pleading guilty to vandalism charges, the year-old student was sentenced March 3 to four months in jail, a $2, fine -- and six strokes of the cane. That Singapore flogs vandals was not news. But that the island republic would scourge an American was. The story made headlines worldwide, especially after U.S. President Bill Clinton asked the Singapore government to waive the caning, which he called "excessive."
After losing an appeal against his sentence, Fay asked Singapore's P
