In a shocking case that has gripped the small community of Frosta in Norway, former municipal doctor Arne Bye is on trial for what is being described as the largest rape case in the country's history.

Bye, who was once a respected figure in the community, is accused of 88 rapes and numerous instances of abusing his position to engage in sexual acts.

The trial, which began this week, has seen Bye admit to three rapes and 35 cases of misconduct, though he denies the majority of the charges.

The allegations span nearly two decades, with 94 women set to testify against him.

The case has raised questions about the abuse of power and the trust placed in medical professionals, as Bye was once celebrated for his contributions during the pandemic.

The trial continues, with the community and nation watching closely.
