18-year-old guilty of filming and sharing intercourse
An 18-year-old man is sentenced to 60 days’ imprisonment by South-Trøndelag District Court for filming and sharing a video of sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old girl.
The teenager shared the video with five other persons via Snapchat. The girl was drunk during the intercourse and learned about the filming after the deed, according to the verdict.
The 18-year-old culprit must pay NOK 20,000 in redress to the girl.
The girl’s face supposedly wasn’t visible in the video. The normal penalty is between 90 and 120 days in prison for similar cases. In the ruling, it is emphasised that the man provided an unreserved confession, which entails a deduction to the penalty.
He is judged to have produced and shared representations of sexual assault on children or representations that sexualize children. This, because she is a minor.
Furthermore, he is judged to have violated another’s peace.
