Haydon Davis Patton, 23, was jailed for four years for raping Jade Bailey Reeks, 21, while she was asleep 

A woman who was raped in her sleep while she was ill in bed saw her attacker jailed for four years after she secretly recorded him confessing to the crime. 

Jade Bailey Reeks, 21, realised she had been attacked by Haydon Davis Patton, 23, when she woke up from a deep sleep to find herself partially clothed in her home in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

At first the care assistant, who has waived her right to anonymity, was unsure whether the police would class the assault as rape because she'd been in the early stages of a relationship with Patton.

But a month later, after he deleted messages from her phone in which they had discussed the attack, she became certain he'd committed a crime.

Knowing she'd need hard evidence to get Patton convicted, she secretly recorded him on her mobile phone as he admitted what he had done.

Ms Reeks was unsure whether police would class the assault as rape because she had been dating Patton for a few weeks before the attack

In the recording Patton says: 'I don't know why I done it. I've got no explanation at all.'

When asked how long the assault lasted he said: 'A minute, if that, it's not like I went f****** all out f****** 20 minutes.'

Ms Reeks can be heard saying: 'I don't know if it's okay that you did it in my sleep. I don't know if it's okay because we're together. I don't know, I really don't know.'

Patton then says: 'It's not like I f****** tickled you.

'What the f*** did you do then?' Ms Reeks asks and Patton says: 'You know what I did.'

Ms Reeks replies: 'Well I don't because I was sleeping.'

The pair were next door neighbours at the time of the attack in July 2017 and had been seeing each other for a few weeks.

It wasn't until Patton deleted messages from Ms Reeks's phone in which the pair discussed the rape that she decided to report him to the police.

She said: 'The night he raped me I had been working as a carer and a hairdresser and I was feeling tired and poorly.

She then recorded Patton confessing to the crime and saying: 'I don't know why I done it. I've got no explanation at all'
