FARGO, N.D. (AP) _ The wife of a doctor on trial for allegedly

drugging the woman with a powerful anesthetic and sexually

assaulting her says it was ``true horror'' waking up to her husband

having sex with her.

Alonna Norberg testified Friday at the trial of her husband, Dr.

Jon Norberg, who is accused of having sex with her after giving her

propofol, a medication that gained notoriety during the trial of

the doctor who treated Michael Jackson.

Alonna Norberg

says she did not give her husband permission to give her propofol

that night.

Defense lawyers say she concocted the story to use in possible

divorce and child custody proceedings.

The Associated Press typically does not identify alleged victims

of sex crimes, but Alonna Norberg has spoken publicly.
