In early May, the Oslo District Court processed the petition from the abused mother in the Alvdal case. Now the district court has decided that she will not be released on probation. The court’s decision is based on the fact that there is still a risk of recurrence of serious sexual offenses. The woman’s defender, lawyer Ann Turid Bugge, says that the woman will appeal the verdict. DEFENDANT: The woman’s defense counsel, lawyer Ann Turid Bugge, says her client will appeal the verdict.

The now 57-year-old woman applied for parole in the autumn of 2020. She is currently serving time in Bredtveit prison in Oslo. Sentenced to detention for several assaults In 2011, the woman was sentenced to a fixed-term sentence of 15 years for long-term sexual abuse of her two youngest children and two neighboring children in Alvdal in Nord-Østerdal. In 2014, she was convicted of sexually abusing her eldest daughter in Gjerdrum. The Supreme Court ruled that she should be sentenced to detention with a time frame of 13 years and five months as a joint sentence for the two cases. The minimum term was set at five years and five months. The woman denied criminal guilt in both cases. Comprehensive case The so-called Alvdal case shook Norway when it was rolled up. The woman was singled out as a main character. Four children were sexually abused by several adults in Alvdal from the autumn of 2003 to the summer of 2007. The mother and the former stepfather of two of the children were convicted of the most serious abuses. A total of five people were convicted in the large abuse case in Alvdal. The last verdict was handed down in 2017. Another parent couple and a neighbor were convicted of complicity. They were later convicted of abusing three of their own children.
