Norwegian admits to sexual molestation

A Norwegian man was today handed a suspended jail term after he admitted to having physically molested a Maltese woman yesterday.

The case happened at about 5 a.m. in St Julians.

The accused, Atle Ulriksen, 32, who is on holiday, had been watching the Maltese woman and her husband exercising along the seafront. The husband was riding a bike while his wife was walking.

Mr Ulriksen suddenly went up to the woman and grabbed her while her husband was placing his bike on a bike-rack attached to their car.

The woman managed to escape from her burly assailant, but he grabbed her again and groped her. She began screaming and as her husband intervened, she managed to get away again and they drove to a police station to file a report.

Mr Ulriksen was arrested a few minutes later.

In court, Mr Ulriksen admitted to holding the woman against her will, violently and indecently assaulting her and offending public morals.

He was handed a two-year jail term suspended for four years.

Sorry to disappoint you mate,but if he was a Nigerian or a somali,he would never be sent back as they do not have a passport and their countries don't seem to want them back.

Thanks M Galea for clarifying. My point was that at the end of the day, once he leaves Malta it's as if he didn't get anything.

wouldn't the police in Norway be notified and aware of this? I assume they must take permission from them in order to keep him in our jail. (my assumptions = guess work and no evidence)

I totally agree with you. Was going to comment the same thing!!! An offence is always an offence no matter who does it!!!! and everyone should be punished equally. But this does not exist in our country unfortunately....
