Best man sleeps with bride

A man who had sex with a bride on her wedding night after she confused him for the groom has been acquitted of rape by a court in Guigang. The adulterer, surnamed Ruan, was best man at a wedding and stayed at the bridegroom's home for the night after the ceremony. After the bride, surnamed Huang, went to the toilet at about 2 am, she accidentally returned to the wrong room and got into bed with Ruan, the court heard. The two had sex, with Huang apparently not realizing who Ruan was until the morning.
