But in an area where the public may have seen the incident. – We have not yet arrested anyone, she says. The police are now working to secure video and want to get in touch with any witnesses who may have been in the area around 10.20pm. The extent of the woman’s injuries is unknown, but according to Jakobsen, the woman is not critically injured. Were weapons used during the incident? – We currently have no information on whether there have been weapons in the picture, says Jakobsen. Kristine Jakobsen tells VG that there is video material, but the police have so far not gone through this. New guidelines After a wave of rapes in 2011, the Oslo police drew up 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.
