The man from Innlandet was sentenced in 2013 to 17 years in custody. Last year, he was allowed by the court to be released on probation when the minimum term of ten years was up. But he was supposed to stay away from drugs, among other things. Five weeks after his parole, he was remanded in custody on charges of rape, use, purchase and possession of drugs. He denies the rapes. But has now admitted buying and keeping illegal drugs. – The serious criminal acts for which he has previously been convicted were committed while using drugs, says police attorney in Innlandet Henning Klauseie. The Correctional Service has asked the state attorney to file a case for reinstatement. They believe the terms of the parole have been breached. The man admits that he has broken some of the conditions, but will oppose that he must serve the full term in prison. That is what his defender Lars Mathias Enger says. Accused of rape on 17 May When the Romerike and Glåmdal district court heard the case last year, it was shown that the man sentenced to custody was no longer intoxicated. The assaults against the women had taken place in an intoxicated state. Therefore, one of the conditions of his parole was that he should not use alcohol or other intoxicants. Conditions for the release on parole: He must be followed up by the correctional service and comply with regulations laid down by them. During the probationary period, he can be ordered to appear unaffected at the appointed time and place. He must live at an address that the correctional service deems suitable. He cannot change his place of residence without prior consent from the regional level of the correctional service. He must observe the inside times that they determine. He must comply with regulations on employment and activity and cannot change them without prior approval from the regional level of the correctional service. He must refrain from using alcohol or other intoxicating or anesthetic agents not prescribed by a doctor and submit to drug tests. He must accept offers to participate in treatment as long as the therapist considers it necessary and appropriate. He must not seek out or in any other way have or make contact with the victim. This also applies to all forms of electronic contact. When the man was released on parole, he moved back to his home municipality where the assaults for which he had previously been convicted took place. On 17 May this year, a woman from his home municipality reported him for rape. She is not one of the previous victims of the custodial sentence. In one case, he allegedly raped her when she was either asleep or drugged. In the second case, he is said to have raped her by violence and threats. During the arrest and search of the home, the police found drugs. According to police attorney Henning Klauseie, blood tests were also taken which showed that he had amphetamine in his blood. The man initially denied having anything to do with both the rapes and drugs. But later admitted to buying and keeping drugs. GROUNDS FOR IMPRISONMENT: The Østre Innlandet district court agreed with the police that the man should spend a further four weeks in custody. Photo: Frode Meskau / news Østre Innlandet District Court, which has dealt with the man’s detentions, believes that the procedure appears to be comparable to the cases that led to the detention sentence in 2013. They detained him until mid-September. The man’s defender, Lars Mathias Enger, writes in an e-mail to news that he does not dispute that there has been a breach of the terms. He has admitted buying and keeping drugs, but not using them. But he sees it in the context of the fact that he was released on parole in his old home. There he was previously part of the drug scene. This spring he was moved to a city in another part of the country. The court decides on reinstatement Unit manager for the Norwegian Correctional Service, Jan Korsvold, cannot comment on this case specifically. He says that when someone is released on parole, they are followed by a regime with several conditions. Among other things, they must meet at the Correctional Service one or more times a week, where rust tests can also be taken. They can never be completely sure that the person is not intoxicated after all. It depends on when and which drugs are taken. Korsvold says that they do not control the convicts around the clock. THE COURT DECIDES: The head of the Department of Correctional Services Inlandet, Jan Korsvold, says they can ask the court that the parolee completes his sentence in prison. Photo: Ola Bjørlo Strande / news He says that when they learn of a breach of conditions linked to release, it is assessed in each individual case. In the extreme, it can lead to them asking the court to reinstate the person in prison. – I don’t think a breach, such as a positive rust test, in isolation leads to reinstatement, he says. Want to keep him in prison until the case in court Police attorney Henning Klauseie says the Correctional Service has been given access to the charge in the case against the remand prisoner and asked to make a statement. – They believe that the violations of the conditions in themselves, i.e. this with drugs, are so serious that they are asking the public prosecutor to bring charges so that he is reinstated in the custodial sentence, he says. WANT HIM INSIDE: Police attorney Henning Klauseie will ask that the remand be kept in custody until a possible trial comes up. Photo: Ola Bjørlo Strande / news The man sentenced to custody has been in custody since he was arrested in May. Last week, the Østre Innlandet district court extended the detention until mid-September. If the public prosecutor follows the Probation Service’s request for reinstatement, the man will oppose it. Defense attorney Lars Mathias Enger points out that the probation service, which has daily contact with the remand prisoner, has recommended waiting on the question of reinstatement until the case has been fully investigated. It is the court that decides whether the person must return to complete the sentence or not. And it is seen in connection with a possible new indictment. Jan Korsvold says that it happens that the court does not agree with the Correctional Service that the person must go back to prison and finish the sentence.
