Henrik you, Larsen, a former executive of her Social Democratic Party, who was also a minister of industry, was today sentenced to four months in prison for possession of material.
“We are pleased to have an end to this story. We will see if it is the definitive end or whether we will appeal, “his lawyer, Berit Ernst, told reporters, after the sentence was announced.
Her client admitted that she owned more than 6,000 photos and 2,000 videos, but claiming that she was looking for this material shots from the rape he suffered when he was a minor. His explanation did not convince the judges.
The prosecutor also said “satisfied with today’s outcome”.
“It is a sad story when someone so well known, who did the best in his life, despite his unfortunate start, is in such a situation,” said Maria Tsingari, referring to the fact that Larsen had been entrusted to Providence when he was a child. “We should not have pornographic material that shows children, whatever the motivation,” he insisted.
On the first day of his trial, the former MP said he received an email containing a hyperlink for a video showing a man raping him when he was about three years old. He then received another video where he, at the same age, was present in the rape of a little girl. The two videos disappeared after their screening, but he decided to investigate to identify the perpetrators. He also told the judges that he was sorry for not contacting the police when he received the messages.
The case was revealed last spring and led to the deletion of Henriko Larsen from the Social Democratic Party.
