– I do not wish to comment on the case at the present time, says public assistance lawyer Åshild Schmidt. Four young women from Southern Norway have been charged with raping a woman of the same age. The incident occurred in 2022, according to the indictment. The girlfriends were gathered at the victim’s house in the evening. Then she must have been pushed down on a bed, before the alleged assault took place, according to the indictment. Three of them held the offended girl tightly, while the main defendant allegedly carried out the assault. The offended girl allegedly tried to turn away, and several times asked them to stop, according to the indictment.

The young women are charged with breaching section 291 of the Criminal Code, which carries a penalty of up to 10 years. Lawyer Lars Faye Ree is defending one of the young women who has been charged. He says that his client denies criminal guilt. He also criticizes the police for spending a long time on the case. – It is incredibly objectionable that the police take so long before the case comes to court. It is very burdensome for all parties involved, says Faye Ree. Lawyer Svein Kjetil Stallemo is the defender of one of the other ungek winners, and supports Faye Ree that the case has “taken far too long”. – My client denies all criminal guilt, and looks forward to meeting the charges in the indictment in court. news has also tried to get in touch with the other two defenders in the case, without success. Agder police district has not responded to news’s inquiry either. Published 15.08.2024, at 13.02 Updated 15.08.2024, at 13.10
