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.

That is so awful. Dealing with being raped is possibly one of the hardest and most ****ed-up things ever, not to mention being thrown in jail for it. She's my age, too... scary and sad
