Jade Blue McCrossen-Nethercott, 32 , contacted police in 2017 , telling them she thought she had been raped.

She woke up half -naked, finding her necklace broken on the floor.

But charges were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service days before a trial was due to begin.

Defence lawyers for the alleged perpetrator claimed she had sexsomnia - a sleep disorder that causes a person to engage in sexual acts while asleep.

The CPS said it has “apologised unreservedly” and said it was committed to improving how rape cases are dealt with.

“We must hold these agencies accountable and we've done it now,” she added.
