Norway: Get an erection, get fired, go to jail?

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

Two female students contacted college management after the incident where they claim the lecturer exposed himself indecently to them in a work-out room. The district attorney filed a suit against the man after the local police suggested not prosecuting the case. However, in the criminal case the lecturer was unanimously acquitted.

...

According to witness accounts from students, the incident took place when the lecturer got an erection while he was lying on a work-out mat lifting weights. The court bases its decision on the fact that even if one of the women claims that she saw his penis, the majority of the people in court claimed that this was not his intention.

It is likely that the erected penis may have been visible between the shorts and his thigh, and the fact that the lecturer can not be held accountable for this to any particular degree was given as a reason for the judgment.

1. If it goes to trial they won't get a verdict

They'll probably end up with a hung jury.

4. I am glad he was acquitted.

If he had been convicted it would have been double-jeopardy: He's already done hard time.

9. Heehee...reminds me of an old joke:

An old lady called the police out to her house complaining the man
next door was exposing himself. The cops looked out the window and one said "well, I don't see anything"

She replied, "well, stand on this chair and use these binoculars..."
:D

15. Does this mean I can sue women who have

erect nipples which are clothed by a bra or blouse?! :eyes:

What surprises me is that this suit didn't happen in America.
