Nøtterøy man acquitted of gross assault in Agder court of appeal
A man from Nøtterøy was acquitted of gross assault of his partner when Agder court of appeal heard the case. The court considered the incidents to be characteristic of a conflict in the relationship, and that this did not constitute systematic abuse.
He was nevertheless found guilty in isolated cases of violence and threats directed at the woman. The charge of rape also resulted in acquittal.
Tønsberg district court had previously convicted the man of gross assault. The appeal to a higher court thus produced a different outcome.
