Andersen was arrested and charged in the so-called pocket man case in January 2008 In December 2010 he was sentenced to detention for ten years with a minimum term of seven years for abuse of 66 boys. He had been in custody for almost three years when judgment fell in Court of Appeal and crave now on parole after serving the minimum term of detention punishment.

Surprised

The judgment of the Court of Appeal states that it is doubtful whether the treatment will be effective Andersen. Now three psychiatrists believe that there is little risk that he will commit new sexual offenses and that he therefore may be released on probation.

Correctional Services disembarking no. The case ends therefore in court. Asker and Bærum District Court has set aside three days to the case.

– I am surprised that the Correctional Service has said no when psychiatrists are so positive, says Anderson defends Gunhild Lærum said.

She notes that there are three heavyweights who have rated Andersen. Both Ila-psychiatrist Randi Rosenqvist and the court-appointed psychiatrists Henning Værøy and Kjersti Narud believe that Andersen may be released from prison on special conditions.

– Erik Andersen has worked with itself and is ready for life on the outside, says Gunhild Lærum.

Do not release

District Attorney Per Egil Volledal who was the prosecutor in the trial against Andersen, and also the prosecutor if the court shall consider parole, is surprised psychiatrists’ conclusions.

– I think that when it is abused so many children for so long, the risk of recurrence is so great that he should not release the elses, he said.

Both psychiatrists and representatives of Correctional Services to testify at the trial. In all, must be kept for six to seven witnesses, says Volledal.

Erik Andersen will explain the first day.

Volledal says that there will be an extensive documentation with recitation of large parts of the judgment against Andersen.

Should he be released on conditions, he will get a trial until the custody judgment has been out in 2017
