The man is accused of human trafficking, pimping and assault. It is said that he was selling escort services on Snapchat, among other things.
Three girls are injured in the case. Two of them were 15 when the incidents happened, the third was 17, he writes Bergensavisen .
Facts, in the fall of 2020, a man sent one of the 15-year-old girls girls to men in Bergen. The man paid 4000 crowns for sex with her and was later sentenced to prison for it.
It is suspected that the same fall, a man tried to arrange a meeting of a 17-year-old girl in downtown Bergen, but this was canceled as the hotel booking was not confirmed.
The accused also attempted to recruit a 15-year-old girl for prostitution by posting her scantily clad photos on Snapchat. Here it turned out that he was selling sexual services.
The indictment also covers the dissemination of sexual images of minors. The 24-year-old got pictures of girls in underwear and posted them on Snapchat to sell escort services.
The trial in Hordaland County Court began on Wednesday. The case will take six days.
