The content is quality assured by news’s journalists before publication. In 2019, a man in his 40s from Østfold was sentenced to two years in prison for the rape of children under 14. Towards the end of his sentence, he was transferred to a transitional housing facility. It is a home that will make the transition back into society smoother. At the same time as he was preparing for a life of freedom, he logged into an internet chat service. There he came into contact with young girls. From the transitional housing, he had the girls send him sexualized photos and videos of themselves, despite knowing that the probation service could monitor both his phone and his PC. The man in his 40s was serving a rape sentence in Halden prison when he again committed new abuses over the internet.

Manipulated and raped 13-year-old One of the children the man came into contact with was a 13-year-old girl from Southern Norway. For several months, he manipulated the girl into sending photos and videos of her having sex with herself, according to the verdict. – She has described that the intensity increased in recent months and that it could be several times a day that the defendant requested pictures, regardless of whether she was on her way to or from school, at school, with friends or at home. 80 days after the defendant was released on probation from the transitional housing, he met the young girl physically for the first time. In total, they must have met four times in different places in Southern Norway. On two occasions, the man rented apartments where he could rape the girl. – The victim understood that it was planned for them to have sex because the defendant brought this up when she arrived, the judgment states. He has admitted to having intercourse with her on three occasions. He has also acknowledged that sexualized images and videos were sent between them. There is help.

In November, it was announced that the service was being shut down, after more than 14 years in operation. According to the BBC, Omegle has been mentioned in at least 50 lawsuits against pedophiles in the UK, USA and Australia. A number of abuse cases in Norway have also originated from the platform. Sentenced to detention Now the man in his 40s has been sentenced to six years’ detention with a minimum term of four years. He must also pay NOK 260,000 in compensation to the young girl, who turned 14 the day after the first rape took place. – The fact that the defendant’s actions this time went further than in the previous conviction, and thereby broke a barrier by having physical contact with his victims and having intercourse with a 14-year-old, in the court’s view, increases the risk of further abuse. In addition to the assaults against the girl from Southern Norway, the Eastfolding has also been convicted of getting two other young girls to send him sexualized pictures of themselves for payment. He has also been convicted of several attempts at the same thing. The man’s defense attorney has not yet responded to news’s inquiry on Monday.
