A woman in eastern Sweden awoke with a start recently to find a strange man lying next to her in bed licking her arm.

The young woman was asleep beside her boyfriend at the time of the stranger's unexpected visit, the local Hudiksvalls Tidning reports.

Upon discovering the strange man’s tongue pressed against the inside of her elbow, the woman first woke up her boyfriend to ask if he knew who the stranger was.

The couple’s initial attempts to force the unknown intruder out of the house were met with angry rebuttals from the man, who demanded to know who the couple was and what they were doing there.

The arm-tasting bandit has now been charged with sexual molestation, breaking and entering, as well as drug crimes, the newspaper reports.

In defending his actions, the 22-year-old man told police he was drunk at the time and has no recollection of entering the couple’s home or licking the woman’s arm.

The incident, which took place two months ago, is reminiscent of a similar incident from October involving a drunken student from Skåne in southern Sweden.

Following a party with his university classmates, the student broke into a home he thought was his own, but in fact belonged to a family who were startled by the strangers’ abrupt entrance.

The mother at first thought the drunken student was her son, but upon realising she instead had an intruder in her home, she called police and waited outside with her family in the pouring rain until five squad cars arrived in response to the call.

The student was given a suspended sentence, fined, and ordered to pay to replace the window he broke to enter the house.

"Upon discovering the strange man's tongue pressed against the crotch of her arm, the woman first woke up her boyfriend to ask if he knew who the stranger was."

So, if the bf answered "oh yes I know him" she would just be ok with that?

Ok so far from what the news have reported about cases where the person claimed they were drunk at the time usually gets away with it.

I'm thinking this guy will get away with it.

Was he wearing a condom? otherwise it could be interpreted as rape.

Translation error:

"the crotch of her arm" - presume that means her armpit ???!!!

My legs each have an elbow - they're called knees !!

Anyone who has lived in Sweden for a while knows what total idiots they become after drinking too much.

We've experienced someone banging on our door at 1 am only for him to announce "Åh jag trodde du var någon annan" when I opened it, drunk men crashing into our conversations in bars trying to drag my partner away, and last weekend one student idiot out of his skull kicked my feet out from under me as I stood on the train. So I panned him. It was long overdue, and I felt all the better for it.

Perhaps if more people adopted my approach Swedish men might finally learn some manners. Drunk or not there's no excuse for their frequently loathsome brat conduct at night.

I agree planet sweden.

Sweden unfortunately has this culture of accepting the most worst of behaviours as long as the person is drunk, everything is completely excused as "Oh well, they're drunk." Also the binge drinking is insane, it's not just one beer or wine to dinner, or being just a bit tipsy.

Hopefully the government does some educational programs and commericals showing people and the children that teenagers and adults getting stupidly drunk and acting anyway they want is a poor excuse. I always heard from other Europeans that Swedes are one of the worst drunks ever, and I didn't believe them until I moved here.

How can the strangers get into others' houses easily in Sweden ? It seemed like they slept in the tents or camping, didn't it ? The reporter should clarify this point.

"sex molestation"... are those like the two most favorite words in Sweden? is it legal to look at a woman at all?

Reporter? You think that story's been filed by a real reporter?

Kinky bastard. I knew I loved all of Sweden the first time I saw it!. Do Swedish women shave their pits? Maybe he was simply lost.

The snozberries taste like snozberries.

"Upon discovering the strange man's tongue pressed against the inside of her elbow, the woman first woke up her boyfriend to ask if he knew who the stranger was."

Seriously this is her first reaction when a stranger is in her house licking her in her sleep? "Excuse me honey do you know this guy licking my arm because I would like to know if I should slap him or invite him into bed."

planet.sweden, "So I panned him", I'm assuming this means you punched him in the face? Sorry I tried translatebritish.com which usually works for most phrases I hear from European English speakers, but it didnt "translate" it.

I had exactly the same experience last year. Lisa, my 21 year old beautiful neighbour climbed into my bed and began licking my armpit. I thought it was my dog, but after an hour or so, I remembered I didn't have a dog.

I went to the police and they said it was rape, so Lisa is now on the run, on the Interpol red list, and being hunted by every police force in the world. When she is captured, she will be fined 15 Crowns.
