He was first arrested January 24th, 2017. The day after he was released before he once more being arrested last autumn. The latter after the Oslo Police District action «Operation Infinity» revealed that he had chatted about abuse of children with, among others, a lawyer.

No further seizures

When asked by prosecutor Ole Jakob Garder, the man admitted that he was a paedophile. He was remanded in custody last autumn, although no additional photos or similar depicting abuse were found in his possession.

The defendant has always acknowledged the criminal charges. He wanted the case to be held behind closed doors during his statement, but this was not heeded.

The prosecutor laid down a claim for a five-month prison sentence, of which three months were to be made conditional due to the lengthy processing time of the case. The defendant’s lawyer, Anders Green, demanded that his client should be released without further ado.

The hospital MD has already served 56 days in custody.
