Ms Murphy reported him to police and he appeared in court charged with harassment.
He made the bedroom-based mistake just before they were about to have sex, the court heard.Ms Murphy said: 'That was that. All I could see was him on top of me naked, calling me 'Karen'.'
Mr Birmingham, of Hailsham, East Sussex was cleared by JPs who said it was just part of the 'cycle of emotions' between the duo.  
Dismissing the charge, JP Keith Sillitoe said: 'There has been a long and fractious cycle of emotions between you for nearly ten years.'
