HELSINKI (Reuters) - A fee of 25,500 euros ($32,000)
is way too much for a woman to charge a man for
fondling her bosom, a Finnish district court ruled.
The court jailed a couple in their twenties for more
than a year for charging a 74-year-old who suffers
from dementia a total of 25,500 euros to enjoy the
woman's breasts on 10 occasions.
"Based on general life experience alone, it is
indisputably clear that a 25,500 euro charge is
disproportionate to the compensation in question,"
Judge Hasse Hakki, who heard the case, told Reuters
Friday.
But he said the court in Kokkola, about 300 miles
north of Helsinki, would not decide "the proper
financial value of the compensation."
