I am sorry to post a link to my own blog, but the Google translation of the original news articles in Norwegian were atrocious and illegible. The blog post do however contain links to both the original news articles as well as links to the Google translated version of them for those who want to fact check this.

Wait, is that 1 dollar or 1,000 dollars? It's still insulting either way though...

Another glaring reverse the sexes case. If a couple guys went down on some comatose women in public there would be a global day of mourning.

The verdict is in and the man was convicted and have to pay the fine and court fees as wel - a total of 8,500 NOK (~1,400 USD). In addition comes the cost for his won attorney since being a defendant in a case where one refuse to pay a fine doesn't make one eligible to a public defendant.

I've updated my blogpost.

News article about the verdict:

Well I've been disgusted enough for one day, I'm going to go outside and try my best not to get violated and arrested for minding my own business.

It's funny how we think we are the exemplary example of egalitarianism and equality here in Scandinavia where the double standards shines the brightest.

He's CLAIMING he doesn't recall, and has a $1000 incentive to continue to not recall. This is a poor example of rape, I'd say. EDIT: It didn't make clear that he was difficult to rouse, and that he was passed out. My mistake.

The man states that he know the two women and that he don’t have any recollection of the sex act and hence he won’t accept the fine. He also doesn’t wish to press sexual assault charges against the women because he doesn’t have any recollection of the incident.

Then pay the fine.
