A shocking case has emerged from a small community in Agder, Norway, where four young women are on trial for allegedly assaulting a friend during her birthday party.

The incident, which reportedly took place in November 2022, has deeply affected the local community.

The accused, who were once close friends with the victim, deny the charges, claiming the encounter was consensual.

The trial, set to last seven days, is being held at Agder District Court.

The victim, who has since moved to a different town due to bullying and ostracism, described feeling pressured and unable to escape during the incident.

The case highlights concerns about youth culture and peer pressure, as noted by the victim's legal representative.

The court will hear testimonies from several witnesses, including friends and medical professionals.
