for rape and sexual assault in my sleep. What would happen. He would confess.

He would be arrested, or asked to attend a voluntary interview, and if he confesses could well go to prison.

Are you ok? Flowers

If he decided to deny it then nothing would happen because 2% of sex crimes end in a conviction. It's bullshit

Hope you're okay

They would probably interview him under caution
How do you know he would confess?

You poor thing. Is it safe for you to call the police?

If he confesses they may press charges. If he denies it probably nothing would happen as it’s so hard to prove. My ex raped and sexually assaulted me multiple times over several years, but it’s almost impossible to prove in court.
Have your contacted Rape Crisis or womens aid OP for some real life support?

Minimum sentence for rape is 4 years ... if found guilty of course.

The sentencing guidelines would put my ex away for a good 10 years. But evidence that will stand up in court is hard to provide within an abusive marriage. So many rapists go unpunished. OP what makes you sure he would confess?
