Tom Anders Ludvigsen, the long-serving mayor of Vestby, is under scrutiny following allegations of inappropriate behavior towards female politicians.

Several local council members have accused Ludvigsen of unwanted physical contact, including kissing a female politician on the forehead and stroking another's thigh.

An investigation by law firm Hjort concluded that Ludvigsen violated the municipality's ethical guidelines in two incidents.

Despite Ludvigsen's claims that his actions were meant to be comforting, the accusers argue that his behavior was inappropriate and demeaning.

The case has sparked a debate in the local council, with some members calling for Ludvigsen to step down, while others await the council's decision on potential consequences.
