Four adults in the same family convicted of aggravated assault on the children – news Møre og Romsdal – Local news, TV and radio

No one sounded the alarm about what happened at home with the family before the children came to the foster home. For several years, both children and adults lived in a small village in Møre og Romsdal. Recently, the police have rolled up the cases that show what went on in secret. Both the grandfather and the two parents of three of the children were earlier this spring sentenced to long prison terms. This week, the uncle was also convicted of similar abuse against his child, the cousin of the other three. – This is new information, and it is disturbing, says Jasmin Gheshlaghi, who is an assistance lawyer. Jasmin Gheshlaghi was the assistance lawyer for the child in the trial that recently went to Trøndelag District Court. The child’s father denied criminal guilt, and did not want it to be played by an audio recording in which he regretted what he had done.

When the mother, after a quarter of an hour, became suspicious, she equipped herself with an audio recorder, and confronted the man she was bidding with. Despite strong protests from the man, the audio recording was played back during the trial. There, the court got the right man to ask his wife to explain the reason for what he had done. State Attorney Eli Reberg Nessimo says she was not aware of the second abuse case in the family. She says they do not suspect that the uncle has abused several of the children. – The case in Møre og Romsdal does not have our theme in our case. I do not see that it would have had anything to say for the investigation or the trial here, says Nessimo. State Attorney Eli Reberg Nessimo in Trøndelag denies that there is any connection between the cases.

The children were abused from the time they were infants and had to be anesthetized before professionals could examine them.

But in addition, there must be some additional factors for the pedophile to turn his sexual interest into sexual abuse, he says. Øverland says these “additional factors” are often dyssociality or reduced empathy. He also emphasizes that there are also pedophiles who do not abuse children, and people who abuse children who do not have pedophilia. – Is there reason to believe that children who have been abused themselves risk becoming abusers? – There is some research that shows that children who have been abused have an increased risk of raping other children when they grow up. But most do not, he concludes. He emphasizes that he does not know the specific cases that are discussed, and speaks on a general basis. Svein Øverland is a child and forensic psychologist.
