Norwegian Man Charged With Sexual Abuse of Over 30 Children

A man in his thirties faces charges for sexual abuse and rape involving 34 children. Prosecutors say he used the video chat service Omegle to contact his victims. The Hordaland resident allegedly facilitated sexual acts between children under 14 years old. According to court documents, he directed two eight-year-olds to engage in sexual activity with each other. Authorities consider the rape charges particularly severe due to the victims' young ages. The man reportedly performed sexual acts on himself while watching children through video chats. He also attempted to arrange physical meetings with several children while pretending to be a teenager. The case will go before Hordaland District Court next week. Hordaland is a county in western Norway known for its fjords and coastal communities. This case highlights ongoing concerns about online predators targeting children through anonymous platforms. The scale of alleged abuse suggests systematic exploitation of vulnerable children over an extended period.
