It was the findings on the mobile phone of the man from Romerike that set off alarm bells for the police. – What we believe he has done is that he has had direct contact with young people via communication platforms, and through his communication has caused them to harm themselves with, among other things, objects, says police attorney Jeanette Svendsen to Romerikes Blad. The man was already in custody charged with possessing child abuse material when the police made the discovery. He was remanded in custody for four weeks on Saturday with a letter and visiting ban in Romerike and Glåmdal District Court. Special case for the judiciary – On the basis of preliminary findings, we have reason to believe that we are facing a large number of victims, says Svendsen. Information the police have also indicates that the act has been going on for many years. According to the police prosecutor, media files have also been found which substantiate that the victim has harmed himself. – Through the investigation, we will investigate how serious the injuries are, says the police attorney. According to the police, the case appears to be unique. – The case is special because there is no comparable case law for complicity in self-inflicted damage, she says. This penalty clause is very rarely used, and can lead to many years in prison. The man’s defender Charlotte Tuven Eriksen does not want to comment on how he stands up to the charge. – The case is in an early phase, says Eriksen to RB.
