4 years in prison for 2 rapes seems like a really low sentence

Still better than some other countries where the more you rape, the higher the likelihood you become a *illionaire, or even a president

Standard sentence in Norway is up to ten years for a single charge.

So he gets to play tennis for 4 years, but will get out sooner.
