However, the trial court was convinced by the explanation from the girl, who arrived crying at the courthouse, writes Herning Folkeblad.
The teacher is convicted of gross misuse of his age and experience. He was also mentally superior to the girl, the prosecutor has stressed.
The teacher has denied that by sending messages and pictures he deliberately exposed her to so-called grooming.
– It was an expression of care for her that we wrote so much together, he said according to the local media.
In addition to imprisonment, the sentence also includes that Rasmussen may not work with children and young people for five years, just as the victim must have 100,000 kroner in compensation.
The convicted person appealed the verdict on the spot, writes Herning Folkeblad.
