The suspected crimes must have happened several years ago.

By being a prominent person in the equestrian sport, he came in contact with those he is now accused of having raped.

He is also described as a person who has power in the stable and is popular.

"Male riders are like rock stars", it is described in the preliminary investigation.

It is initially described as a dream to learn from the good rider.

The dream must then have turned into a nightmare when he approached the girls.

Particularly vulnerable situation

According to the prosecutor, the elite rider has taken advantage of the fact that the young girls were in a particularly vulnerable situation.

In the preliminary investigation, several testify that they saw him as an idol or guru, that they were manipulated and wrapped around his finger.

According to the prosecutor, the opportunity to work for him and, among other things, promises of good competition horses has meant that the girls have had a position of dependence on him, which he has since taken advantage of.

Denies crime: "A synchronized attack"

The elite rider has been in custody since May and is now charged with one case of rape against a young woman and two cases of rape against a child.

The suspect denies the crime and in interrogation he describes the accusations as "a synchronized attack" on him.

According to him, the sexual acts did not take place under any compulsion, and he further believes that the girl was not under 15 years old.
