A teenager has relived the moment her 'life changed forever' when she woke to find a naked man next to her bed before she was sexually assaulted.
Kyle Montrose Deligny, 21, climbed to the second level of the young girl's family home in Camp Hill, in Brisbane's east, and entered her room about 1am on March 24.
Deligny, who was on hallucinogenic drugs, got undressed and touched the girl's shoulder before telling her: 'I am here to have sex with you.'
She calmly called her parents as they slept in another room, which prompted Deligny to pull up his pants and flee, The Courier Mail reported.

He left a bottle of lubricant and a torch in the room, both of which had his fingerprints on them and led police to arrest him the following day.
Deligny pleaded guilty to sexual assault and entering a dwelling at night at Brisbane District Court on Tuesday.
Judge Brad Farr praised the teenager for staying calm during the frightening ordeal.
She attended the court with the support of her family who listened as a letter she had written was read out on her behalf.
'I will never forget what he did to me, it has changed my life forever,' she said.

The teenager explained how the sexual assault has affected her studies, relationships and sense of safety.
Both she and her family struggle to sleep at night without 'thinking of his selfish act' and her father feels he has let his daughter down.
'I am going to be strong and I will able to rebuild parts of me that were undermined and weakened after that night,' she said.
Deligny read a letter of his own to the teenager and her family, expressing his regret and saying he was 'deeply sorry'.
'I take full responsibility for my actions which arose out of my own bad decision to use hallucinogenic drugs,' Deligny said.

While he understands he does not deserve or expect the teenager's forgiveness, he vowed to 'serve my time as deserved and clean my life up'.
Defence barrister Kim Bryson said the 21-year-old had a rough time growing up and was exposed to domestic violence and bullying throughout his upbringing.
Ms Bryson said Deligny's time on remand over the past three months had been difficult for him.
Judge Farr accepted Deligny's apology and noted that he co-operated with police.
But he also said the outcome could have been 'extraordinarily frightening' had the teenager not scared him away.
Judge Farr told Deligny he breached the sanctity of the teenager's home and caused psychological, social and emotional harm to both her and her family.
He was sentenced to three months behind bars and will be eligible for parole on January 25, 2021.
