The doctor, who had been a municipal medical officer in Frosta municipality in Norwegian Trøndelag, is convicted of 70 rapes and a total of 82 cases of abuse of position. He is also stripped of the right to work as a doctor for an indefinite period.

The crimes have occurred between 2004 and 2022. The police have seized over 6,000 hours of video recordings of female patients who were filmed while being examined by the doctor. One of the victims was just 14 years old when she was exposed.

The women have previously described uncomfortable, boundary-crossing experiences. For example, the doctor allegedly gave them "vaginal massage" and in several cases inserted objects during gynecological examinations.

The doctor is also ordered to pay compensation to several of the victims. In total, it involves many millions, writes the Norwegian Aftenposten.
