The local politician from Eastern Norway is said to have sent erotic short stories in which he and the underage girl were the main characters, according to the indictment. The right-wing politician has also met the girl several times in various places in Eastern Norway, and at these meetings the most serious assaults in the indictment are said to have taken place. It was VG who mentioned the matter first. – Last autumn, the victim reported the case to the police. It has taken time since the incident happened until she reported the case, this is not unusual for young people who experience sexual abuse, says police attorney Børge Enoksen in the Oslo police district to VG. Claims they were equal The two should not have met through politics. – They met in a completely normal way, as young people meet, says the politician’s defender, lawyer Marte Svarstad Brodtkorb. She states that the politician does not plead guilty. DEFENDER: lawyer Marte Svarstad Brodtkorb defends the Conservative politician.

They were lovers and they were equals, so my client pleads not guilty. – When it comes to the problem of having a relationship with someone who is under 16, how does he feel about it? – He says that they are equal, and I think we will prove that in court. Reported by the girl The relationship ended in 2019, and the lawyer claims the girl has contacted the politician in a pleasant tone at regular intervals after that. But in autumn 2023, the girl reported the politician to the police. – It is incomprehensible to us that she has reported him now for anything. They had a nice relationship and then a review comes a long time after that. CHARGED: The police have brought charges and the Right-wing politician must appear in court this week.

The case starts in the Oslo District Court on Tuesday. – We have very close contact, says Brodtkorp about how she and her client now work together.
