A teacher in his 30s is in Senja District Court sentenced to five months in prison for assaulting a nine-year-old student, NRK news reported.
The sentence is two months milder than the prosecutor’s assertion.
The teacher was in April charged with repeated sexual acts against a nine-year-old boy at a primary school in Central Troms.The  Assaults  took place in the classroom in 2013 and 2014.
According to the boy happened the abuses while the accused assisted the students with the help of school assignments.
The case became known when the child told  his parents about the incidents when the child should return to school after the Christmas holidays in 2015.
The teacher in his 30s denied the allegations. He also pointed out that it was strange that he was to have been touched in a classroom with about 20 other students present.
