Woman Sentenced To Prison For Raping A Sleeping Man

In a ground-breaking case, a 24-year-old Norwegian woman has been sentenced to nine months in prison and fine after being convicted of forcing sex on a sleeping man.

According to Aftenposten newspaper, the woman, whose identity has not been revealed, was also ordered to pay NOK 40,000 ($ 6,385) to the man.

The incident took place on Jan. 4, 2004, at an apartment in Bergen, Norway. According to court documents, the man said he found the woman performing oral sex on him as he was sleeping on the couch.

The woman however said that she did indeed perform fellatio on the man but claimed he was awake and approved of what she was doing.

However the man disagrees and says that the incident scared him and subsequently caused mental anguish and psychological difficulties.
