Young men believe rape myths

A new study of young men in central Norway reveals disturbing attitudes towards rape.

The study found that one in three believed that a woman can enjoy a rape.

It's extremely alarming, I can't believe that this study is real.
The study of young attitudes to sexual harassment also showed that one boy in four agreed or strongly agreed that women have a tendency to exaggerate how harmful a rape is, and that one of three believe it is important to assess the victim's past in a rape trial.

Sentenced for hundreds of rapes

An Oslo man was sentenced to eight years in prison for the systematic rapes of his stepdaughter over an eight-year period.

The man was also ordered to pay the girl NOK 200,000 (USD 32,000) in compensation.

According to Oslo City Court the 46-year-old began the rapes when the girl was 12 years old. They continued for three to four times a week when the girl was younger, and once or twice a week in recent years.

My opinion is that the sentence is too mild..
