Overview

• A court found Gjert Ingebrigtsen guilty of one count of minor assault after determining he struck his daughter Ingrid with a wet towel in January 2022.
• He received a 15-day suspended prison term and was ordered to pay 10,000 Norwegian kroner in compensation to Ingrid.
• The court acquitted him of all charges brought by son Jakob after concluding there was reasonable doubt about claims of sustained physical and psychological violence.
• Prosecutors had sought a two-and-a-half-year jail term after describing a decade-long regime of abuse during a seven-week trial that included testimony from siblings and external witnesses.
• The verdict highlights the gap between the family’s celebrated reality TV image and private allegations first aired by Jakob and his brothers in October 2023.
