At the end of May, an employee at a primary school in Ålesund was charged with assaulting a pupil. The police also said they had found several sexualized images of children that had been deleted from the man. – We have expanded the charge, so that it now also includes a violation of Section 311 of the Penal Code. It concerns the production of sexualized video/images of children, police attorney Julie Ulstein at the Møre og Romsdal police district told news. The pictures or videos must be of students at the school where he is employed. The parents of the aggrieved must be informed, according to Ulstein. – We are investigating widely, but he has been charged with physical abuse against only one student, says the police attorney. The police are now working further to go through digital seizures, and have made discoveries that strengthen the suspicion against the accused.

Two of the weeks were with a ban on letters and visitors. The man was then charged with assault against a child under the age of 14, under §299 of the Penal Code. All sexual intercourse with children under the age of 14 is considered rape. It also applies to certain sexual acts, regardless of consent or whether violence or threatening behavior is used. After the charge became known, the man’s lawyer told news that the man does not plead guilty and takes the case seriously. They appealed the detention to the Court of Appeal, but were not successful. After the case became known, the school also sent out information letters to parents. The employees were offered follow-up from the municipality’s crisis team, and a health nurse was available to the students. Published 12.06.2024, at 13.45 Updated 12.06.2024, at 14.07
