http://reuters.myway.com//article/2...580610_RTRIDST_0_ODD-CRIME-NORWAY-SEX-DC.html Norwegian Court Convicts First Woman for Rape Apr 28, 9:15 AM (ET) OSLO (Reuters) - A Norwegian court has sentenced a woman to nine months in jail for raping a man, the first such conviction in the Scandinavian country that prides itself for its egalitarianism. The 31-year-old man fell asleep on a sofa at a party in January last year and told the court in the western city of Bergen he woke to find the 23-year-old woman was having oral sex with him. Under Norwegian law, all sexual acts with someone who is "unconscious or for other reasons unable to oppose the act" are considered rape. The court sentenced the woman Wednesday to nine months in jail and ordered her to pay 40,000 Norwegian crowns ($6,355) in compensation. "This is a very harsh sentence," the woman's lawyer, Per Magne Kristiansen, told the Norwegian news agency NTB. The woman argued the man had been awake and consented. The prosecutor had sought a 10-month sentence and argued the court should not be more lenient with a woman than a man. It was Norway's first conviction of a woman for rape. Norway has long traditions of equality -- 40 percent of the cabinet of Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik, for instance, are women.
Geez, it's not like she used a large produce to violate him. If the woman was ugly, any normal male would probably file that away in their vault of bad hookups. I can't imagine bringing this to the police.
A lot of people will laugh and snicker at this article, but that is horrible if true. What if the guy was married, or had a steady girlfrield, or if the woman had a disease... All I can say is that if it had been a man doing that to a woman, he would have been locked up a lot longer.
Imagine if we were in Norway and the Thread Title was: "United States of America convicts First Lady for rape." That's be more newsworthy. Incidentally, ladies, if I am ever passed out after a party feel free knock yourself out. Watch the teeth if you will.
Sorry to sidetrack but this is the first time I've noticed Sam's new sig. Pretty funny. Got a chuckle out of me.
Not only do you get a free BJ, but also over 6 grand and a damn good reason to not call the b****? I like Norwegian justice.
Check how this is worded. Oral sex "with" him, seems to imply that they are both doing it together. How would you feel if you fell asleep at a party, only to wake up in a 69 staring up at a strange vagina. Who knows where that might have been. You could be unwittingly kissing your drunk friends by proxy, or worse....
