Norway woman convicted for rape
Thursday, April 28, 2005 Posted: 1056 GMT (1856 HKT)
OSLO, Norway (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 on 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.

Any nation that supports the war on drugs can not pride itself for equality.

What do drugs and their illegality have to do with equality?

'31-year-old man' is an inaccurate description of the supposed victim, a man would never even consider criminal charges for such an act.

Even gay guys shouldn't mind a blow job. Every openly gay guy I have known would shrug it off with good humor (in my estimation).

IMHO, people who want to use drugs, that are illegal, and are prosecuted legally are not being allowed the level of freedom that people who use legal drugs are. In most cases, drugs that are legal, cause as much damage, and/or addiction as legal drugs. " Nicotine withdrawal shares many features with alcohol and opiate" -www.dcmsonline.org/jax-medicine/ 1997journals/october97/smokers.htm "Alcohol kills 500 people every night, nation-wide in the U.S." - McKenna "Pure Amphetamine addiction is safer to the physical body, and less physically addictive than pure caffeine addiction in rats" - Ott. A lot of drugs; Marijuana, and most Hallucinogenics, are much safer, than alcohol, and tobacco, and are not physically addicting. Prohibiting the use of safer intoxicants, and prosecuting people who use them is totally denying that segment of the population that chooses more responsible means of intoxication an equal legal standing... Complete inequality in my book...

"The woman argued the man had been awake and consented."
Unless you give us a link with more information we will have to assume its her word against his, if this is the case she should never have even been arrested. I am not sexist, my view would be the same if a male were accused of raping a female.

Would you really want to wake up to have some stranger's mouth all over your johnson? Who knows what kind of diseases they might have. What if they looked up, smiled and you saw THIS?

IS this why, in just the past few days I've seen two license plates regarding a Norwegian woman? One said "Warning: Norwegian grandmother" The other said: "Warning: Norwegian Driver".. with a female driving the vehicle.
It puzzled me to no end.

I'm betting on this being the case.. What normal guy is going to be pissed about waking up to a BJ?? Definately not me.. Unless you realized she had open sores on her lips or somthing of the sort. I guess Id have to check it out if I ever woke up to a complete stranger sucking me off. hah.
