A Norwegian man who was found in possession of 10,800 videos that sexualize children or depict the sexual abuse of children has been spared a prison sentence on the basis “having personal difficulties.”
The man, whose identity and biological sex has been concealed by Norwegian press, communicated with other pedophiles online and is said to have participated in a group chat with another man who shared content showing himself raping his 8 year-old sister. In response, the trans-identified man expressed a desire to have a child of his own to abuse, and encouraged others to have sexual intercourse with children under 14 years of age.
The case was heard at the Midtre Hålogaland district court beginning in October, where the prosecution requested 320 hours of community service. When handing down a conviction on November 25, the final judgement agreed with the lenient verdict, while adding an additional 100 hours to the total sum, resulting in a sentence of 420 hours of community service in lieu of a prison term.
This was despite the fact that the court argued a suitable sentence would have been imprisonment for 4 years and 8 months if “mitigating circumstances” were not taken into account. Despite this, even this proposed sentence was initially reconsidered due to “major personal challenges” on the part of the sexual predator, and debated down to 2 years and 6 months before community service was ultimately chosen.
The trans-identified pedophile was first detained on December 6, 2023, when found to be in possession of a total of around 2,300 images and around 10,800 videos depicting the sexual abuse of children. Police confiscated his two smartphones, two computers and an external hard drive.
According to police, the man had on several occasions written about and otherwise participated in dialogues about sexual abuse of children via popular messaging app Telegram. Police documents state that he was active in a Telegram chat from December 2021 to September 2022, where he was discussing the sexual abuse of young child with another man.
The convicted predator, who is from Narvik, encouraged an Australian man known online as “Butters (Froggie)” to sexually abuse his 8 year-old sister and other children in a series of chat sessions. Images of the girl being assaulted by “Froggie” were shared within the group chat, and for this reason, the Norwegian was charged with complicity in the rape of the child. “Froggie” is in custody, having been arrested by Australian police after Norwegian authorities tipped them off.
A report from Nettavisen News published explicit messages sent by the Narvik predator to other pedophiles. In one message, he expressed a desire to “creampie” a child. The term is used in pornography to describe ejaculating inside another person. He additionally used crude terms to describe his wish to rape a “loli,” a term used in the Japanese pornography genre “lolicon” to describe animated depictions of sexualized underage girls.
Reduxx spoke with Norwegian journalist Espen Teigen, who covered the case for Document.no earlier this week. Teigen provided redacted court records and confirmed details of the investigation, while adding that the Narvik predator underwent genital surgery in Thailand two years ago at the age of 18.
Despite being male, Norwegian press has reported on the court case while describing the pedophile simply as a “young woman.” In order to protect the victims, identifying information has been withheld. The pedophile was in contact with several young children.
Teigen highlighted the deception on the part of Norwegian press, stating that the media has “deliberately lied” in a bid to protect a child sexual abuser.
“This is a case which shows how trans ideology and gender ideology has gone completely off the rails,” Teigen said. “The state broadcaster, NRK, has deliberately lied to the Norwegian people by writing about a ‘young woman’ who was sentenced because of possession of child exploitation videos and pictures, distributed them and trying to make others have sex with children. This is a grotesque case which should result in a long prison sentence.”
“However, if you read the judgment from the court, you see immediately that it’s not a young woman. It is a man in his 20s, who started dressing as a girl when he was 12 years old. When he turned 18, he flew to Thailand to have gender surgery,” Teigen said.
“In the judgment you can read that the court believes the penalty should be four years, eight months in prison,” Teigen continued.
“However, due the ‘personal conditions’, which are later elaborated to be his transgenderism – he does not even need to go to prison. He will be serving only 420 hours of community service for depraved acts of child molestation. How the mainstream media continues to lie about this case has upset many. This is not justice.”
Norway has strict protections surrounding gender identity, and recent years have seen multiple women’s rights advocates threatened with criminal investigations after “misgendering” or “deadnaming” trans-identified males.
In 2022, Reduxx reported on two cases in which women were investigated by police after referring to trans-identified males as “men” or denying that trans-identified males could be “lesbians.”
In one instance, Tonje Gjevjon, a lesbian artist, was notified in November of 2022 that she was under police investigation for hate speech over a statement she posted to Facebook condemning trans activists who seek to criminalize women who oppose gender ideology. In another, Christina Ellingsen, a representative of Women’s Declaration International (WDI), was investigated under hate crime charges after referring to a trans-identified male as a “man.”
While Gjevjon and Ellingsen were able to successfully combat their charges, a Norwegian man was sentenced to 21 days in prison in 2021 after being found guilty of “insulting” and “misgendering” a trans-identified male on Facebook.
