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.

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy. I have seen it all now!! I didn't think it was humanly possible for a woman to rape a man. And what man is going to admit to it. Can you imagine going up to your buddies and saying "Oh my god, I got raped by Britney Spears last night." You'd never be able to show your face in public again.

This has either been posted a lot, or there is a female raping man epidemic in Norway.

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. A lot of lonely American males would dream of that situation, that is assuming that the woman was attractive. It would be informative to have a photo of the 23 year-old female to help understand why the Norwegian male called the police.
Was she a 300 lb female with bad teeth, for instance?

From
newindpress.com:
The man said the incident left him with insomnia, virtually no interest in sex. He also described it as a breach of trust between friends that crushed his faith in people.
Hmm. Where's the rest of the story?

There HAS to be more to this story!
Imagine waking up to find a blond hair blue eyed 23 year old woman engaging in that which she was convicted of, and then, she has to pay YOU $6,000.00.
Frankly, imho, this is definitely not a woman who should be put in prison!
(Lord forgive me my impure thoughts :0) )

If I woke up and caught Helen Thomas with it in her mouth I would probably be charged with Assault and Battery. She's enough to give a guy nightmares similar to the worst PTSD.

Maybe missing from this story was the part that the "man," fell asleep wearing a pair of heels and garter, and the "woman" was sporting an adams apple and
very large hands.
I've hoid dings about the Euros...

Like I said on the
last thread about this story....
If someone tried this with me who wasn't my Wife, I'd make her life a living hell, legally and publicly.
I just have this disgust towards people who mess with married folks.
(I know, it takes two to tango. But personally, I don't dance. Ever.)

That THE "woman" OR "man" in question?? Neither, it would appear. Note the Norwegians aren't giving any names or pix. Europe is a dull place.
