Rape - Whose Fault Is It?

Right now, there is a young Norwegian woman imprisoned in Dubai. She's been charged with consumption of alcohol without a license and for having sex outside the marriage.

So what's her story? She was on a work trip and was out partying with her colleagues. She woke up from being raped in a hotel room, but managed to escape. She ran to the reception and told them to call the police. The police came and put her in prison. Being Norwegian, the thought she could get imprisoned for reporting her getting raped never occurred to her.

This happened about four months ago and she's still there. She just got her sentence, one year and four months.
