According to the indictment, it must have happened on Sunday morning around 09 o’clock in a hotel room in the capital. The man is charged with rape and having had sexual intercourse with a child under 15 years of age.
A judge in Copenhagen City Court decided on Monday to uphold the arrest of the young man for three days. This gives the police more time to investigate the case. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
In North Zealand, an 18-year-old man has also been charged after the new law came into force. On Saturday, he was remanded in custody by a judge in the Court in Elsinore for a preliminary 14 days. It wrote Ekstra Bladet.
He is accused of having tried to have intercourse with a young woman without her consent at some point on New Year’s Eve between 00.10 and 01.00. He denies guilt.
In North Jutland, a 29-year-old man is also charged with rape after midnight on New Year’s Eve. It wrote Nordjyske.
He is accused of having intercourse with a 15-year-old girl at 02.30, without the girl’s consent or that she was in a state where she could not resist.
The man pleaded not guilty but was remanded in custody for a preliminary four weeks.
It was a unanimous Folketing, which last year passed the change in the law, which means that it is now a criminal offense to have sexual intercourse with a person who does not consent.
Before, there would not necessarily be rape in cases where a person says no to sex.
Under the previous rape provision, it was characterized as rape if, for example, the perpetrator used violence or threats of violence, or if the victim had been in a state where he or she was unable to resist the act.
