Woman assaulted and raped in central Oslo – news Norway – Overview of news from different parts of the country

The incident happened in Tollbugata in Oslo and the police received a report about the case at 10.20pm. The police were still on the scene at 1.30am. – We are looking for the perpetrator, but no one has been arrested, says operations manager Per-Ivar Iversen in the Oslo police district to NTB. He does not want to say much more about the matter. After a wave of rapes in 2011, the Oslo police made new guidelines so that fewer reported assault rapes would be mentioned in the media. A report showed that the increase in reports of rape was strongly associated with the number of press reports. – Previously, we went out with many cases, but it created a tremendous fear. A media image was created that there were a lot of rapes all the time, said the head of the section for sexual crimes, Kari-Janne Lid, to VG in 2016. The practice that still applies in the Oslo police is that only rapes are reported to the public can contribute to clarification, whether the police are afraid that the perpetrator may rape again or whether the media has picked up the incident in another way.
