Ingebrigtsen's father convicted of minor assault, cleared of abuse allegations
Gjert Ingebrigtsen, father of Olympic runner Jakob Ingebrigtsen, was convicted of assaulting his daughter Ingrid but acquitted of other abuse charges after a trial in Norway. He received a suspended sentence and was ordered to pay compensation. The court's decision was based on lack of evidence of ongoing abuse, despite Ingrid's testimony of being whipped. Jakob and Ingrid expressed mixed feelings, with Jakob focusing on moving forward. An appeal is possible within 14 days.
