A MAN who raped a sleeping 20-year-old woman after a night out has been jailed for six years.

Frenchman Aymeric Sarrazin, 31, continued to rape the drunken woman after she woke up in her Edinburgh flat and told him: “No”.

His victim was left with a bite mark and bleeding after the assault on July 25, 2015.

Sarrazin claimed the sex was consensual but judge Lord Kinclaven told the first offender at the High Court in Glasgow: “You assaulted and raped the complainer in her flat. She was 20 at the time and you had just met her.”

Lord Kinclaven said the victim has suffered psychologically and the incident had harmed her career.

The woman told the court she remembered opening her eyes and finding Sarrazin, from Bourg-La-Reine in France, on top of her.

She said she was in shock and lay terrified while Sarrazin moved her limbs “like a puppet”.

Advocate depute Iain McSporran told jurors she was incapable of consenting to sex because of alcohol. Solicitor advocate Jim Stevenson said: “Mr Sarrazin has a good work record and intends to return to France after serving his sentence.”
