Bodø man (21) faces nine years' preventive detention for rape, threats and extortion

A 21-year-old man from Bodø faces a possible sentence of preventive detention for up to nine years. The public prosecutor in the north has demanded this sentence, which is considered particularly serious.

The young man is charged with committing rape, making threats and extorting several young women. The serious nature of the case means that the prosecuting authority believes preventive detention is the appropriate response.

Preventive detention is an indeterminate sentence that can be extended if the convicted person is still considered dangerous. Such a sentence requires that the court finds it probable that the person will commit new serious crimes.
