Brussels-based DJ Odymel is facing allegations of sexual abuse in Belgium. On Monday he announced on Instagram that preliminary investigations had been initiated against him. In the article he also comments in detail on the allegations made.
In his statement, he admits that he had consensual sexual intercourse with the person making the allegations on the evening in question. However, he couldn’t remember what happened afterwards because he fell asleep.
The person concerned described what had happened to him at a later date. Accordingly, Odymel is said to have initially carried out sexual acts alone and then tried to “initiate another, non-consensual sexual intercourse”.
Sexsomnia as a reason
In his statement, the DJ claims he doesn’t remember anything. During the sexual acts mentioned, he was not himself, but was in a so-called sexsomnia episode. Doctors consulted described the condition described as involving an episode of sexually influenced sleepwalking.
The Swiss also explains that he is aware that sleepwalking as the cause could seem like a simple explanation – he himself would have viewed such a statement with great skepticism. However, he is telling the truth.
He also writes on Instagram that he has already been questioned twice and is willing to undergo any specialist medical assessment requested. (fake)
