A 22-year-old woman was charged with interfering with a man in his
thirties. The incident was allegedly caught on film.
The woman, the offended and a friend were allegedly in the
apartment of the friend where the incident took place Saturday
night. The man explained to the police that he was laying on the
sofa sleeping when he suddenly woke up as the woman was handling
him.
No intercours
“This is not referring to intercourse in the ordinary sense, but
sexual relation which is punishable on the same level as rape due
to the fact that the man was sleeping,” said Jannicke Fløystad,
police lawyer at Hordaland police district to the local paper
Bergens Tidende.
According to Fløystad, this is the first time in Hordaland police
district that a woman is charged of raping a man.
According to the paper, the friend of the offended allegedly
photographed the incident, and he is now charged as an accomplice
to the rape.
“The charged individuals deny the charges,” Fløystad said. “They
claim no sexual activity took place.”
The three of them allegedly had been drinking, but none of them
were excessively intoxicated.
