At the end of April, it became known that the police had brought charges against Gjert Ingebrigtsen for abuse in close relationships, against one of the victims in the case. The remaining cases investigated by the police were dropped. The cases against five of the victims were dismissed on the basis of the evidence, and one of the cases was dismissed on grounds of limitation. Four of the dismissed cases were appealed, including the one that was time-barred. The complaints were sent to the public prosecutor on 31 May. The public prosecutor upheld all but one of the charges. It was sent back to the Sør-West police district with orders for further investigative steps. Here, a new questioning of the victim was made. Sent the case to the state attorney – The police have now completed the investigative steps, and have sent the case back to the state attorney, says police inspector Terese Braut Våge in the press release. She does not want to comment on what the police’s recommendation to the public prosecutor is. – It is the public prosecutor who decides the outcome of the case, says Braut Våge.

Told story about growing up Last year, the Ingebrigtsen brothers Henrik, Filip and Jakob wrote a chronicle in VG (external link) in which they told their story about growing up with Gjert Ingebrigtsen. In April, Gjert Ingebrigtsen was charged with mistreatment of one of his children. The police then dropped the cases from several of the other children. Three of the children complained about the suspension. The brothers Jakob, Henrik and Filip Ingebrigtsen. Photo: Heiko Junge / NTB Jakob Asserson Ingebrigtsen’s appeal was upheld in July. That means this case is open and under investigation. Gjert Ingebrigtsen himself has always denied that he has done anything punishable. Published 23.10.2024, at 08.04 Updated 23.10.2024, at 08.19
