Lyngdal Coach Scandal Deepens

Published: 2025-01-15

A former sports coach from Lyngdal faces expanded charges of sexual abuse and rape of minors under 16. The man, in his 30s, previously admitted guilt to producing abusive material and assaulting children under 14. New allegations involve multiple victims over an extended period, though unrelated to Lyngdal residents.

Investigators are still reviewing evidence and interviewing witnesses, with the case prioritized for completion by April 2025. The accused denies the latest charges, while the community grapples with the repeated failures to protect its children.
