Schelderup given prison sentence, Benfica winger devastated | OneFootball

The verdict for Andreas Schjelderup is already known. The winger from Benfica saw the court decree a 14-day prison sentence, however, it will be suspended. The decision announced by the Copenhagen Municipal Court turns out to be less severe than what was initially requested by the Public Prosecutor's Office.

According to reports from local media and here in Portugal, the Norwegian international thus sees the process come to an end, being subject to a suspended sentence of 14 days, a number below what was initially requested by the Danish Public Prosecutor, which asked for a prison period between 20 to 30 days.

It's worth noting that the episode became public in recent weeks, when the player, through his social media, revealed that he was dealing with a legal process in that Nordic country. The issue was the alleged sharing, without the athlete's knowledge, of sexual content involving minors.

At the time, Andreas Schjelderup acknowledged the mistake he made and admitted that he was willing to face the consequences. "What I did was illegal. I hope to be convicted and receive a suspended sentence (...) I want to apologize to the people affected by the video, to friends, family, and all the supporters I disappointed", said the Eagles' footballer at the time.

Thus, Andreas Schjelderup - valued at 15 million euros - will have a suspended sentence of 14 days. In the current sports season, Benfica's number 21 has played a total of 17 official matches with the Sacred Mantle. In the 815 minutes he was on the field, the winger scored two goals and provided two assists.
