The politician reveals that he struggled to come to terms with being a heterosexual male rape victim, and subsequently self-medicated with alcohol and cannabis.
'I am a heterosexual man who was raped by a Somalian asylum seeker,' Nordal Hauken writes for NRK.
'My life fell into ruin, but now I feel guilty about him being sent out of the country.'
He reveals how he was called up by the prison shortly before the perpetrator was to be deported to Somalia, having served 4.5 years in prison for the rape.
'I felt relief and happiness that he would be gone forever. I felt like the Norwegian State had taken responsibility to carry out the ultimate revenge, like an angry father confronting it's child's attacker.
'But I also had a strong feeling of guilt and responsibility. I was the reason that he would not be in Norway anymore, but rather sent to a dark uncertain future in Somalia
He adds: I see him mostly like a product of an unfair world, a product of an upbringing marked by war and despair.
