Schelderup defends himself in hearing: "illegal" | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup immediately realized that he had committed an illegal act. The footballer from Benfica gave his testimony in court, where he revealed that from the moment he understood what it was about, he tried to remedy the situation. The Eagles’ number 21 was sentenced to a suspended sentence of 14 days.

Following the announcement of the verdict, the publication Nettavisen sought to share the testimony the Norwegian gave at the trial. “I received the video on Snapchat as a tasteless joke and forwarded it to a group of four friends. I only saw the first few seconds, but I realized it had sexual content and involved two young people. As soon as I forwarded it to my friends, I quickly realized it was illegal. I immediately deleted it from the group and from my phone’s gallery,” Andreas Schjelderup began by saying.

When questioned about the conversation he had with the Danish police, the Benfica forward admitted that at first he didn’t really understand what was happening: “At first, I didn’t really know what it was about. I had never spoken to the police about anything before.”

Upon leaving the trial, Andreas Schjelderup’s defense lawyer commented on the case and stated that the player will perform community service: “My client does not object to community service, but there are some practical challenges.”
