Basketball Coach gets tougher rape sentence with three additional years – Aftenposten

Basketball Coach gets tougher rape sentence with three additional years – Aftenposten

He is convicted of five rapes, one attempted rape and two counts of having exploited his position to obtain sexual favors.

The two youngest victims were only 16 and 17 years old when the abuse happened.

The penalty for eleven years unconditional prisons is three years more stringent than the one he got in Court of Appeal before the summer, but still four years lower than it Oslo District Court said was an appropriate punishment.

The reason is that the jury answered “no” in six of the twelve charges, which meant that they also almost half verte penalty.

– My client is obviously degraded the result. Now we will study the Supreme Court grounds carefully, says the man lawyer, Johnny Veum.

The judgment of eleven years in prison in line with the statement from Attorney Carl Graff Hartmann:

– We are well satisfied with avgjørlesen says Graff Hartmann.

– My clients are very happy today. They are pleased that the Supreme Court says so clearly from how serious it looks at this kind of abuse, says counsel Trine Rjukan.



Two years in detention

36-year-old has now been sitting 738 days – or just over two years – in custody at Ila Detention and Security Prison. He will now be transferred on Atonement.

The Court of Appeal considered that redress amount should be set at 185.000 million for the two youngest because of their low age and because they were exposed to a gross breach of trust. Judges therefore went beyond the Supreme Court’s standard norm of 150,000 kroner compensation in rape cases.

The Court ruled 36-year-old to pay compensation of 150,000 kroner to the three other women he is convicted of having raped.

These indemnities remain.

The Supreme Court has only looked at sentencing.
