A Conservative politician from Hordaland is acquitted of sexual assault on a minor girl.

The man is elected for the Conservative council of a municipality in Hordaland. Earlier this month he stood indicted in Nordhordland District Court for assaulting a minor girl. She has heard by a judge explained that he assaulted her 10 to 15 times from 2010 to the summer of 2012.

The judges believe it is not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the man has abused the girl and therefore chose to acquit him, writes Bergens Tidende.

prosecutors in Hordaland has appealed to the Court of Appeal, said the man lawyer, Lars Christian Sunde.

– He’s relieved the result in court, but is also prepared that it now becomes a new round in court, says defender, who did not want to comment on the verdict somewhat closer.

Right-politician requested exemption from all political meetings in their municipality when he was reviewed. He has always denied having abused the girl.
